Thanks for the advice, I have a lurcher that's bred grey/whippet x greyhound/kelpie and I've noticed he nips a lot at my other dog. He usually drags him t the floor by the scruff of his neck. Is that a normal thing for a kelpie to do ? And to clarify why my name is thieving mac is because my lurcher is called mac an he's a brilliant dog other than pinching everything and hiding or burying it somewhere. Don't want anyone to think I'm referring to myself. And just to add that's a very well built dog above I hope mine fills out a bit soon.
