It might be a duplicate post but maybe the problem isn't solved. Either way I hope you kept watching Ceasar and learned that this is a pretty easy problem to solve. It has nothing to do with intact dogs. It has everything to do with you and your training. You can train dogs all you want and teach them all kinds of great things...... But the one thing you can't teach them is how to interact with other dogs. At least not to the specifications that you like unless you do it. This is a difficult thing to teach. If you have good obedience then it makes it easier, but you also need good leadership qualities. If you have both of these then this is a non-issue. In your story above, you lacked the ability to catch this before it happened. Or you missed it. If your dog has tons of prey drive, a little dog looks like a snack, it is up to you to watch your dog and correct for mis behavior. Don't go all goo goo over your old buddy until you know he is safe. Dogs are instinctual, a little old dog is a meal to an RR if he doesn't know any better. I could have both of these dogs laying down together in less than an hour probably and so can you if you watch the situation and let the dogs know who the boss is.
I didn't say it was a repeat post, I said it was a duplicate post...posted in the same forum at the same time. Many people have responded to this poster (myself included) on the other, identical post.
For continuity's sake, it makes more sense to move all responses to one single post. Also, if people are searching this topic in the future, it makes more sense to have all the answers in one place.
Also, duplicate posts clutter up the forum. I wasn't trying to belittle the poster. For all I know, it was a technical problem.
