Extreme alphas??
« on: July 29, 2015, 08:31:30 AM »
Hi guys so I've been looking online and really can't find much information on extreme alphas. Websites do mention it however don't really explain what to look for how they act how to tell if a chin is an extreme alpha male and how to handle them. So what is an extreme alpha and how can you tell? And how to handle them?

Thanks

Extreme alpha really isn't a term used for chins. Some are more dominant than others but that doesn't affect how you handle them. It only affects how you introduce another chin if you choose to do so.

Is it a same sex pair? Knowing the alpha chin really doesn't matter. Sometimes they can chew the less dominant chins whiskers, they can be territorial over food or water stations.... what is your chin doing that brings up the question?
