believe it or not, the last link here has wonderful info about disease related behaviors and changes.

I use these groups to help with the public to keep thier dogs when there is a problem and Animal Control is called.

Brenda - thanks for responding to my question!  I
think you hit the nail on the head with regards to
resource guarding.  I can handle that....my concern is
her sudden aggressive behavior with other - smaller -
dogs.  Happened again last night on the walk.  We have
been walking with this westie for over a year.  He is
nothing new to her.  Just out of the blue.....goes
right for him.  Stopped off at another place where
they have a German Shep and a Rottie.....she was
guarded going up to them and this Shep has been around
her nearly daily since she was a pup.  He pretty much
schooled her in the "Way of the Dog".  SHe eventually
settled down with them but was so wary.  Very
different behavior.
She is spayed - so no season other than Summer here.
Thank goodness.
Thanks again.
Ally
