And my dream burst like a big bubble!

It was my dream to have several dogs of several breeds living together in peace and harmony. Well, it didn't work.
After Mia (another 6-months-old Beagle) came to us, we had more and more fights between Babygirl and Merlin. And Merlin would also regularly attack the Beagles. So, I figured that we would probably have to sell him.

But then it happened: all the dogs were playing and Fibi found a toy which all the other dogs wanted as well, so everybody was running after her. But suddenly Babygirl attacked Fibi, pulled her ears, bit her legs with a strength that Fibi cried like crazy. I tried to stop them, but Babygirl didn't let go. It felt like an eternity that passed before I could separate and stop them. Fibi had both of her ears bloody, one now hangs a little lower and her feet had scratches. And my hands didn't look any better. I do feel sorry for Babygirl, but she had to go, so we sold her. Those American Staffords simply get too big to be trusted with a small breed like Beagles. And at the moment we are still trying to sell Merlin because I don't want the same to happen again. Neither Babygirl nor Merlin are aggressive with people or with dogs in general, but when they freak out, it gets bloody.
In the meantime, we are having a little (about 5 months old) American Stafford mix in our home. We are giving him into adoption because he was found abondaned on the streets. He is a very good guy and very cute!

Furthermore, we hope that Nala is pregnant and is going to have her puppies in August.
And Peluche is now finally old enough to be a sire and if he did a good job, he'll be father very soon.
