A true alpha dog is NOT a troble maker. A true alpha is a peacemaker. They don't start fights, they get along with other dogs. I have an article I wrote on alphas I don't know if it's too long to post here or not. Are there limits on post size?
If there is please email me the article. I would be very interested in reading it. I know for a fact I have had one dog that was a true alpha, and you're right. If the other dogs got into it, she was the first to step between them and the fight would break up instantly. She didn't tolerate fighting within her pack..... but she never attacked either... all she had to do was charge into them and they would immediately stop. It was quite the site to see! (She was a lab mix, almost pure white, that we got at a shelter... my family dog as a child... and she passed at the age of 13 from cancer that hit hard and fast, but that's a different story.) Here is a picture of her that was probably taken about 12 years ago at least.
