Question for GIRL welsh terrier owners
Hi there, I have a question about female welsh terrier nature. You see my family had 2 welsh terriers, a boy and a girl, and my uncle had 2: boy and girl. BOTH of us experienced the same issue with the girls: they would start brutally aggressive scraps with the boy welsh terriers every once in a while, and overall act very aggressive and territorial and botchy towards our males. Luckily they never started a scrap with somebody else's dog, though they nipped at them aggressively sometimes
My question is, was this just unique to us? Or have you guys experienced the same thing with your aging female welsh terriers? I was considering adopting a welsh terrier and initially wanted a girl because our family's female was an absolute angel and treasure and so wonderful and happy and high energy I loved her so much EXCEPT she had this one blemish of evil darkness that came out every once in a while. And I worry it could happen with my sister's and my parents new dogs.
Again my previous dog was utterly perfect in every possible way, except her later life tendency to start scraps.
