i have a litter of 6 bullmastiffs now 6 weeks old i use two bowls when feeding them one of the little girls how just started growling at the other pups when they are feeding near her could this just be they are sorting out their pecking order in the pack or is this something i should be worried about i was thining about starting to feed them one at a time and stroking then while they feed so they dont end up guarding their food i have never come across this problem with any of my dog so im not to sure how to deal with it? any advice and help would he most helpfull

I always feed my litters from separate bowls, holding the bowls while they eat so that they're completely happy with hands in and around their food when they leave. I've never had problems with them being food possessive with people, and I'm sure this regime helps with that.
