Peter Cavallaro Webboard User Reg: 07-09-2010 Posts: 536 Loc: Offline	a breeder posted this vid with an almost bragging attitude about the dominance in the puppy. I told her it was idiotic to force the weaker pup into the face of the snarly one to demonstrate what exactly??? I suggested this can cause many issues re resource guarding inappropriate aggression etc. I would just like others opinions if I am reading too much into it, would you call this good practice? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kc6CrQfTkUg

I respect yr opinion and not just because it happens to align with mine on this occasion. if you think it is off then it prolly is.

I'm seeing a puppy who is worried about having her bone taken away, could be dominant a female, but the behavior exhibited is not a "tell" LOL And forcing the other puppy to keep going back, when he did exactly what a well rounded dog does when another dog tells them to back off - what a joke! Gawd I hope this person doesn't have another litter.

Peter Cavallaro Webboard User Reg: 07-09-2010 Posts: 536 Loc: Offline	well that went well; "...this is a "top-notch breeder" "doing what few breeders take the time (or have the balls) to do, give potential owners valuable, honest video insight of a pups character at 6 wks (very telling age), to give them a good idea of what they will be as adults." etc, anyhoo just wanted to see there was any basis for my initial shock, like anything depends who you ask.

Bob Scott Moderator Reg: 06-14-2002 Posts: 7417 Loc: St. Louis Mo Offline	If that pup was truly dominant all it would have to do is stand over the bone and the other pup wouldn't get that close. The fact that the larger pup was right in it's face makes me agree with a comment above that the pup is nervous about loosing the bone. The second pup is doing nothing but showing respect to the one who is in possession of the bone. The pup with the bone MIGHT be higher on the pecking order then the one who walked up to it but it has little to do with being a dominant dog. There is always a pecking order in any litter of pups but the pup at the top isn't necessarily/rarely going to be a truly "dominant" dog. That "person" that put the pup back in the face of the one with the bone should get a boot in the chair polisher. old dogs LOVE to learn new tricks

Absurd and ignorant opinion from individuals such as this one, is the sole reason I had to stop using Facebook and participate on other dog forums, this type of attitude induces an unhealthy rage in me, and keeps me awake at night.

Forcing those types of interactions is just plain stupid. More important, it showed how to demonstrate the lack of pack leadership. Bailey
