    Concerned about J-feeder placement

    With my Red New Zealand's i keep the feeders at 4 inches off the floor. When little kits are out and about i just feed them with a small crock. When the kits start to jump out of the nest box. I just turn it on its side. Easy out easy in.

    Dog snipping at 6yr old daughter.

    Dogs are pack animals. There is always a leader. They do not vote on who is to become leader. Leadership is taken by the dominate dog. People are pushing Human traits on dogs all the time. While it may make one feel good to do this. In the end as much as we love them. They are dogs.
