paulus 26 Posted September 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Paulus mate this is a normal thing seen it with my own dogs. Thing with me is the old infirm dog was still strong and able to defend himself but the terrier would be a right cnut with him one fight alone cost me thousands.... Good luck fella this is the first time he has ever needed a vet in his whole 11 years , normally i can treat and identify the problem, but this time apart from lameness there was no obvious signs of where it was originating from, new soreness in any joint, no punctures. no hot spots nothing, its not helping that the old bitch in home is also in season, so hormones are high anyway Could be a major part that mate hormones high on a weak dog is asking for a bit of trouble. Out of curiosity is the stronger dog aggressively territorial with other dogs normally???? He can be upon first meeting but that stems from an attack by a loose shepherd guard dog when he was younger re the territorial, This could be a part of it now the older dog is weaker and not so much of an equal in a fight the younger may just be simply a bully i will send him to the naughty step and sort out an anger management course then Quote Link to post

You can buy calmers that plug in the wall and give out feremones supposedly mimicking females after welping which is supposed to calm males down they didn't work for me mate but it's something to look at if you have them together in the house other than that it's something you have to live with until....

weasle 1,119 Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Of course wolf packs have a alpha male and female they are the only two in the pack to breed, the others go along with this Untill they sense one of the 2 are injured sick and then kill it to take over. That's why people who keep wolfs, wolf high breeds can keep them for years then one day they sense your sick weak they can take you, and they do! I know someone who keeps a pack of genuine wolf dog hybrids that's interesting,she has an alpha male and female so would they still take her or the alphas to move up position?So better brains than me say...defiantly cases of it.if she's feeding them petting them she's the boss,if she's doing it alone it only takes her to slip over and 1 to react it's game over. Go and watch a pack of fox hounds if the biggest baddest dog ends up on he's back during a minor fight every hound will jump in for a rag,even pups. I used to work in a safari park every night we would chase the wolves in the house 2 could do it but they would give you the run around,going in alone was a instant sack,too dangerous. That's one rule I never saw broke They reckon xs are worse because they haven't the natural fear of humans. Quote Link to post
