Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 That's just what Dogs do, mate. They're simply getting to know each other and sort out who's who in their order of things Don't worry about it. They'll virtually never cause any deliberate harm to one another in that process. Just do as ye doing and take immense pleasure in watching their antics. It truly is fascinating to watch, isn't it? And ye'll learn a lot more about ye individual Dogs by closely observing the ebbs and flows of their interactions as they sort out their parameters. Never try to assume or predicably guess anything about Dogs and how they'll end up in that race for superiority within the pack. Not based on size or age or even sheer physical power, at least. As for JR x Lakie? I wouldn't have a clue! Weird coated pups? How would I know; Never had a Lakie! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ferret15 0 Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 (edited) its just sorting out the pecking order the one doing the leaning is the dominate one the one who look like he is biting is resorting to puppy behavior ( puppies nip at and lick the faces of the dominant dog to encourage it to regurgitate its kill) to show he is submitting Edited July 4, 2007 by ferret15 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pipey Magregor 0 Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 My pal came over with his British Bulldog bitch yesterday and my pup was jumping all over her in excitement, then after about half an hour he my dog started humping, and kept on trying and trying. When I told him off he would back down, but 5 or 10 mins later he had his lipstick out again trying the give her a portion lol. It's just dogs for ya' I surpose.

Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 JRT; My way has always been to introduce the youngest puppies to my adult Dogs and simply leave them to it, 24 / 7, with no interferance from me. I'm yet to have an adult Dog do anything serious to a pup. Seperate them for an hour? What ever for? You'd only be depriving them both of valuable socialisation time and, even worse, instilling the idea that certain of their natural interactions will bring about punishment, by isolation. Who knows what quirk that could throw into their mutual psyches. That's just the sort of thing that could lay the seed of a deeply rooted resentment that could explode in some situation even years down the line. No. What they're doing is perfectly natural and the best thing you can do is just let them get on with it and enjoy watching their antics and observing the developement of their relationship. Nature has wired those Dogs to do and respond as they will. Nature's been in this game a bit longer than you or I, mate. Who are we to try and second guess her in her own game? What those two Dogs are doing there is forming a bond that'll last them a life time. Never mind all this 'Alpha' talk shit. It doesn't matter. What will be will be and still those Dogs will grow up ready to die for one another. Just watch and learn, mate Funny, really; I've been around Dogs a bit myself and I can read this whole story, plain as day, in that great little picture ye have as ye own avatar there That artist knew his Dogs. And he's captured exactly what we're discussing here in that one 'simple' image. It's quite beautiful Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pipey Magregor 0 Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 Yeah I'm glad you've raised the question JRT, I'm still learning about dogs myself realy (only had mine for about 5 weeks or something) so the next time I can leave them to it without causing any problems. It is a tad though aint it lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stevie g 2005 125 Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 well dicth i am glad u have never had any problems intoducing ur pups to adults but as for putting a new pup in with a adult dog and leaving them to it i wouldnt do it. i know u think u know the adult well but it takes one bad mood or even some jealousy and ur new recruit is a goner. i personnaly let them meet one other when am about but when im not the pup does not be put with my older dogs when i am not there not till they get a lot older and u have learned more on how they get on. also i wouldnt kennell to terriers together i know there are dogs out there u can but from experince i have learnt no matter how well they get on it just takes one little thing i will give u a example i reared to terriers pups together from eight weeks old got on great till they were about 9 months when i was sitting out the back. anyway a labcross walked past my back fence away the two terriers went baying like feck at the back fence at the lab cross now in the exitement they banged into one another and all hell broke loose with them. know i was there at the time and broke it up quick but i will tell u this now they cant stand each other now and would start in a drop of a hat Quote Link to post Share on other sites
