Griffe has a new sister!! We rescued a Fawn Doberman two weeks ago and she is our little princess =)
Fiona is amazing and knows how to be in a crate, which Griffe has had major issues with and his separation anxiety is SO much better now that we have her!
There's only one problem, and wanted to know what your opinion is and if this has happened to anyone else?
Griffe is now marking Fiona's crate when they are home alone and she is IN the crate!!! We have a camera and I saw him do it, plus the evidence when we get home.
He has not marked or gone in the house since he was a puppy, and it only happens when they are home alone and she is in the crate and he is in the house.
He is not neutered and just turned 2, Fiona is spayed and believe she is around 2 1/2. She did have a few accidents in the house, so not sure if that started it all? It's not in those spots though.
I know the answer will be to start crating him and hopefully this doesn't set the separation anxiety off again, but why is he trying to pee on his sister?!
They even went to day care together one day and were in xpens next to each other, and he tried to mark her through the wires lol.
Also, how long does it take, if ever, for them to just sleep together? They cannot resist the urge to continue mouthing and playing and go at it non stop until we separate them, and I know it's only been two weeks, but just curious if they ever chill out =)
Thanks as always for the input and I have a ton of photos, just have to take the time to upload!
