No he is grey/whippet/collie. Lovely little thing not nice to see him with a face full of stitches

Was just gonna say, whippet pups can be extremely 'trying' when they are young.  Very feisty and practically non stop. 

And I suppose that could easily apply to whippet crosses that take more to the whippet mentality.

It can mess a pup up for sure. Seems to be an endless cycle I'm not getting another dog in until my bitch is gone , all started for me with a neurotic Hancock lurcher and went on from there. My current bitch is tolerant of introduced dogs but none others , great around people and kids certainly a far cry from the Hancock which ruined social mooching for me. I had him PTS as was a liability around dogs and I had young kids he also nailed my busher pup which sent him down the nervy aggression route , it's a ball ache , the bitch I got now is easy in comparison...

Was that that twit that came over here? (Lot of that’s in that sentence  )

Can't see what 'getting him done' will achieve.

I'm no dog behaviour specialist, but the dogs I have seen, including two that my old man owned, that were castrated, due to aggressive tendencies' and wandering for bitches in heat, did nothing to alter their behaviour.

Was there any food nearby at the time your older dog gripped the pup?

 

 

i agree we had our akita done he was breaking out and roaming the streets shagging bitches and fighting we had him done but he was still a c**t for fighting

Did it stop him carrying on when the bitches were in season? I put a post up about whether to get my terrier neutered. He doesn't fight he just screams for weeks.

[mr moocher 910]

no he calmed down a bit but would still fight anything

The whippet is asserting dominance a bit early . Should sort itself as the pup gets mature . Imo , getting him done wont change much

My male was attacked several times as a pup (due to idiots assuming he was either an Alsation, Rottweiler or Doberman cross and immediately putting their dogs on leads to "protect" themselves). After one attack he ran off and was hit by a car. Before this he'd been extremely easy going and relaxed (his nickname is Bob because he was like Bob Marley) but after the accident he became aggressive, initially only towards large dark coloured dogs (as these had previously been the main culprits) but eventually towards anythings with testicles that got too close. Fine with bitches and castrated males though.

Anyway, to get to the point (I thought you'd need that first paragraph as background)...I asked the vet about getting him castrated and was advised not to. In the vets opinion, removing the testosterone going into his body would make him even more defensive and more likely to attack.

Incidentally, he's fine now. To cut a long story short, a magnetic collar did the trick! That wasn't the reason I bought it for him though but it was an amazingly fortuitous side-effect.

Your dog was attacked by dogs on leads?

Yes, it's a hard lesson to take on board when you are steaming for blood.

Yep

He was very friendly and outgoing, but calm and polite (never jumped up, even as a pup). He'd walk up to people and/or dogs, but unfortunately not all dog owners believe in the benefits of socialising dogs.
