Sweeney 316 Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 This pup 11 months now is mental, it's just a fecking lunatic ! I've never had a bull x always had lurchers without bull blood and this bitch just seems like she's not all wired up right. It's a fecking nause to be honest just constantly on a high 100 miles an hour growling and running into the other dogs. It's like as soon as it's of the lead it turns into a possessed animal. Nice walk this morning though, I have missed the nice fresh mornings. Few crap photos.... Quote Link to post

snappeer 464 Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Guy in the pub told me it's all to do with them having such big heads, and such small brains. The brains end up rattling around the skull and it causes them to be a bit daft.I heard that too 1 Quote Link to post

CBdogsA1 420 Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 I would be more worried if my PUP wasn't carrying on like this. Time, time, time and patience. 2 Quote Link to post

What cross is it mate? because thats more like young Greyhound behavior than anything, but all dogs in all breeds are not the same. You can have boistrous and quiet in the same litter. Its good for a pup to gallop and learn to use itself anyway. Quote Link to post
skycat 6,173 Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 High drive dogs need a focus for their drive. If allowed to tear around like headless chickens they will always target the moving object, be it another dog or something else. They need managing carefully while they are too young to actually work, or they develop bad habits: such as harassing and bowling other dogs. Get the pup obsessed with retrieving, tugging, playing with you, and give her a target that won't get her into the habit of going for other dogs out of sheer desperation to run something.

Hands of Stone 154 Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Just a thought, but is it on particularly high protein scran? High protein affects some dogs differently to others Quote Link to post
Wales1234 5,490 Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 If my bitch stuggles when fed high protein her skin goes red and stuff !! Quote Link to post
