Ever since she was brought home, she's always liked to mess with the boy, first by licking his face and chasing him around, but now that she's older, she full on attacks him, leaving chunks of hair on the floor. Examples of what seems to trigger this behaviour in the female are: Playing with toys: If the boy is playing with me, she attacks him. If she's playing with me, my poor boy better not get close or she attacks. Sitting next to people: When my boy is sitting next to me on the couch, she likes to jump up and get some pets, too. But sometimes she takes the boy's spot, and he has to move. Even when he does move out of the spot quick enough, she'll sometimes growl at him before trying to attack. Getting excited: When I come home, or if the two see animals outside, they head to the door to bark, and sometimes, my female, without warning, will just jump on top of the boy and start biting. She attacks almost daily. Sometimes more than once a day.
