What are your dogs like at sharing.

I think Roxy has only child syndrome because she is usless at sharing her toys, especially if its a nice big stick.

Over the weekend our neighbours were looking after an 8mth staffy bitch, Tia, and Roxy went bounding over to say hello. Anway on the way home from our walk Roxy is proudly walking home with her stick in her mouth and the dropped it to say hello to Tia. Tia went to sniff the stick and got screamed at by my spoilt little brat!! Poor Tia nearly had a heart attack.

If I throw the stick away (which I did) she is all fine again. Its weird bcause people can take what they like from her its just other dogs!!

Anyone had similar experiences?

The pitbull I had years back was like that. She got on with all other dogs as long as they didn't bark or growl at her and as long as they didn't touch her toys. Kane is quite the opposite, he will put it down and take a few steps back to invite the other dog to play with it. He doesn't really play with his toys much unless he has someone to interact with, be it human or dog.....or cat, he would really love the cat to play. :bball:

Different strokes for different folks. I've had dogs which would put down what they had for another dog to get it and then chase the dog like a mad bugger. I've had others which would hold onto whatever they had and just not let go, and then there are those which would growl.... or lash out. I don't exactly know what goes through their heads, but they often won't tolerate something from other dogs which they are fine with from people.

I think Roxy has been spoilt like a child and as we have no other dogs isn't used to sharing!! Trying to re-educate her now!

Mista our oldest staffie will share if he wants to, but Missy will growl and snarl if anyone goes near what she has whether it be Mista or us :|

Maz wont play with any toy unless Raven has it......... AND thats fine its normally a rope so they just tug, tug, tug!!!!

Only thing they wont share is bones and Raven will make that very clear to Maz

Max is really good at sharing but Bonnie is awful, she will sulk, bark, nip and carry on if Max has food and she doesn't, same goes for toys. She usually wacks him with whatever toy she has anyway to make him play with her!

Jade is great with sharing anything but her balls!!!! Shes only ever nipped Stu when he was teasing her with her balls but she soon realised she was naughty and jumped on his lap licking his face!!! :P

akasha was a only child and she never liked to share when any dogs came to visit but since we have had oakley she lets him take it from her mouth ........weird

rocco will share with lexus my rottie, but he doesn't really get on with other dogs after being attacked 3 times so def wouldn't share with anything else!
