I do not think Russel was trying to dominate . I think Russel picked up on Kevin being annoyed at lisky, not listening. When lisky didn't listen and kept annoying the master Russel decided to tell lisky enough. You can see Russel only got annoyed when Kevin got annoyed, and I have noticed Russel is very protective of Kevin.

Russell is challenging his dad for dominance in the pack. The older he gets, the more this will happen until the pecking order is settled.

Kevin, it's past time to get Russell out of that pen. He and dad are going to fight for senior dominance position. They will tare into each other sooner than later and it looks like it's already starting. I went through the same thing with my two male brothers. Had to separate them and it worked out.

I read alot of the comments on Russell and Leeski(probably spelt that wrong,sorry,) there is alot🙄 but i do agree with one thing Leeski is the dominant male but Russell is pushing for dominance,, Leeski loves you ,is very attached to you and Russell sees that and wants the same attention,, so hes gonna start pushing Leeski,,, try feeding Leeskie and Cora first than Russell,,,,, there is a pecking order among dogs too as you well know,,, i love your dogs,,Mojo and Skeeter too,,💕💖💕💖💕 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family,,, ps (I even like Mr.Stinkey)🤭😉

Hi there from Tasmania, Australia. I've found that putting male dogs together with the younger dog as he gets older fights the other males to be top dog. Mr. leski will be depressed poor fella. And Korra has probably been getting out to get away from her pup. As I've noticed as he got older, the more she started to distance herself from both males. Hope it gets sorted for you all's peace on the farm ❤

I think Leeske wants your attention and so does Russell and that's what they're fighting over....who is going to get your attention and pettins. They're jealous of each other. I simply cannot believe how tall Russell has gotten. He is now the tallest dog on your farm. But his mom is the best for keeping predators away if you can keep her home. LOL Leeske's bark is enough to scare anything away. Who doesn't love Mojo? He's the sweetest of them all.

Don't get rid of Leesky. Are they both fixed, they'll work it out be patient. They are jealous of each other even I can see that. If one is not fixed it will cause a problem. At least that was my experience. It wouldn't be fair to get rid of one of them.

Russel is LIMPING! His back Left leg!

[@snugbug-n6x]

I thought the same thing about the dad dog looking for protection from the man. These dogs are smart and know they would get corrected by him if he's sees this unexceptable behavior. So maybe more is going on in the wee hrs of the night making the older dog get more beatings when people r asleep..poor thing. !?

[@1PDBZFMA]

@@merrycarol8970 Yea. He is. He's been limping for ages, though. I've had large breed dogs that had this limp. For some, it was the hip dysplasia, for others, growing pains. Same as with children, those growing pains can cause some serious discomfort. Also, of the two males Liesky is the more friendly and submissive one. Still, I wonder what Russel's limp is associated to.

[@1PDBZFMA]

@@snugbug-n6x Yes. Very smart dogs indeed. Dogs do that when looking for reassurance, when anxious, guarding what they perceive as theirs, and when looking for protection. In this case, I think Liesky was looking for protection. I'm sure nighttime is very eventful for them. They're very active at night to begin with. Thanks to the predators around there. Cora's immediate "hide" reaction does make it seem like she's seen more than one verbal outburst between the 2. I completely agree. I think the same thing. Liesky is typically the more sweet and submissive one. He would be the one getting hurt the most for these pecking order squabbles. Hopefully, it doesn't escalate to that. I feel Liesky and Mojo are the most dependable of the guard dogs. It would be a real blow to them if Liesky got put out of commission.
