But a bitch picking up her pups will always grab them around the body, or if she's nervous and afraid of hurting them, by a leg, but the scruff-hold is something I've never seen a dog do. Same goes for the scruff-shake. Just about the most severe discipline I've seen a bitch impose is the snap, which'll send puppies shrieking as if they've been hurt and while there are individual differences, as a whole bitches are very tolerant of their puppies' shenenigans. Where I *have* seen a dog grab another by the scruff is in a serious nasty dog fight and that was because it was convenient (for the biter, not the bitee). Dei. The plural of anecdote is not data. -- Stephen Budiansky.
