my two year old male,comes from varied working lines,many sch111 ,s and sch 11,s. my question is hypothetical,i think. with so many sch. males and females in his pedigree,is it possible that the "need to attack a sleeve" could become a genetic trait,as opposed to natural,untrained reaction to strangers?
At two yrs old, it's not uncommon for a male dog to test the leadership. It has nothing to do with with the highly elusive "need to bite a sleeve" gene.
bob , this guy has allready spent ten days in jail, for biting a person who came into my yard unvited. i have a six foot chainlink fence all around, with "beware of dog" signs on all gates.no blood was drawn,but the man filed a complaint and animal control locked my pup up in quarentine.bottom line ,it cost me $85.00 for an idiot who came into my yard.i have since noticed on two occasions,that he would jump up at a forarm.once on a buddy of my son's,and once on a friend who has been here daily,long before i got the pup.
John, I'm no expert, but more than likely he's jumping for the forearm because of quick movement from that area. It's normal for a person to throw their arms in front of them for defence. The height is also convient to them. Kinda like my daughters ankle biting Chi dog. That's what she sees moving, and that's what's avalable to her. JMO though!
I was being a smart A$$ but some dogs are more genetically inclined to bite. Man has screwd them up breeding for "sweet" dogs. My expierience is with hunt terriers. I've seen working dogs that seemed to be naturally drawn to a particular Jaw grab, muzzel grab, etc. Then I've seen sons and daughters hunt in identical ways. There may be a genetic disposition to bite in a certain area. I've also seen hog dogs that were natural ear, nut, jowl dogs. The dogs that don't have the genetics for it, don't hunt long.
bob, i appreciate your inputs,i too have hunted with lots of different types of hog dogs.some like ears,some like the other end. point well taken. how are your jack russels doing. been a while since i was here.
