madmackie 11 Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 (edited) Hi all Can anyone give me some advise been hunting with hawks for 14 years birds now retired so i have bought a 5 mth old 3/4 greyhound 1/4 wheaten it is the sister to my mates dog same litter. they are kenneled together all has been fine took them out yesterday and a run round turned into two full blown kickoffs. we separted them and all seem fine again put them in the car and they started again so mine now has its first war wound on front leg my mates must have had her good and proper. any way put them back in the kennel and apart from a growl all is fine is this just a battle for domination or is this likely to continue.should we run them separately etc any advise would be greatly appreciated thanks in advance pete Edited December 30, 2009 by madmackie Quote Link to post Share on other sites

the_stig 6,614 Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 (edited) if your planning on working these 2 dogs together i`d try and put a stop to it - seperate em in the car .sounds like bit of over excitement - check em everytime they get at - you could end up with a pup thats had all its confidence knocked out of it or sharing a hefty vets bill..

takman511 42 Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 dont let them fight mate they are getting to the age where they could do some dammage to each other i would seperate them but work them together if you think they are going to fight stop them before they start. good luck with them.

watchman 256 Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 I,M,O, At this age { 5 month } it`s just pups finding their place in the pack, though this doesn't mean that you should ignore it,.. It`s down to you and others in the pack {family} to let them know that you wont tolerate fighting and where possible to stop it before it gets to that point. And that comes down to knowing your dogs and recognizing the signs that are leading to a scrap... If it continues as they get older you really should consider separate kennels, and as someone else suggested separating them when traveling... I`de also consider their breeding, if they have thrown to the terrier in their temperament, then you have to remember that We/man have bred terriers to be aggressive and relentless in their pursuit of what they are angry at... Yis Mars.. i agree mate but will say it is difficult at the best of times to moniter kenneled dogs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
