Yes: Lakie litter I bred years ago: at around 6 weeks they were seriously trying to kill each other: if they'd had the jaw power and adult teeth it would have been nasty. I ended up splitting them up: 2 and 2 in adjoining boxes within the same large kennel: the bitch could get into them, but they couldn't get out or at eachother: similar thing: 2 were always hammering the other 2.

A mate of mine bred a litter of Patts, and the one bitch pup who used to take the pastings turned into a seriously mentally deranged and eventually had to be put down she was so unmanageable. Shame really.

Yep best to split em, a few years back I had a litter of pitbulls and one of the little buggers took most his litter brothers ear off while having a bit off tussle,then kept picking on him ...stange though he was ok with the others. same as you they just did not get on.
