I just discovered that the people who live behind me have a precious brindle, natural eared boxer! He is adorable. Indy and Beauty can't really see him through the trees, but they know another dog is there. There is also a drainage ditch between our houses and all yards are fenced. Next door to the boxer people is a huge chocolate lab. All 4 are always barking and running, etc. I would like to see if Indy could play with the boxer once in a while. However, I think the boxer house is a rental property and I never see these people. The poor baby is outside all the time :( and I don't think he gets a lot of attention. He barks kind of ferociously at me when he sees me at the fence. Should I go to their house first and ask about playing? Indy is kind of funny about other dogs. They appear to be about the same size and age. I don't know if the brindle is male or female. Indy is neutered. Also, we have no dog parks in Jackson. I'm not sure if it would be a good idea to let them play in the yard as territory could be a problem. Indy is very submissive to Beauty. She will get him by the neck and he will just lay down. She kind of holds him there until he "gives". What do ya'll think? Beauty could not play as she is very dog aggressive...she attacks anything that moves. I think her previous owner trained her that way. If I wear gloves when gardening, she will grab them and I have to pry her mouth from around my hand. She doesn't bite me, but she clamps down for dear life. She loves Indy, though. Please let me hear your suggestions. Thanks!
