My 4-month-old pup got into a scrap with my adult male. We have a female in heat that is separated to ensure she doesn’t get bred but it is making my adult male crazy so he has been totally separated from our other dogs. I was unaware that my son let our male out of his kennel sometime early in the morning. I let my pup out of his crate to take him for his walk, as soon as I opened the door he ran out side to relieve him self and met up with our male and they went at it. As soon as I heard the noise I ran out and ended it. The pup had a couple bad cuts on him but didn’t seem shaken up at all, went right back to his playful self. I took him to the park to meet the normal friendly dogs after this and he was just fine. Is there a chance this will have a long-term effect on his relationship with our other male? They will never be left together unattended but I would like to keep them on good terms. I know we defiantly have to be more careful in the future, I just hope it’s not to late. Thanks in advance.
When this pup matures, you will have two, intact, adult males, with a intact female. With serious Ob training the two males(might)be controllable when together,but when the female comes in season, it will probably hit the fan. Either way, one of the males will want to be boss and that can present problems if you are not in complete control.
I have an adult male pit as well, owned several dogs’ males and females for many years now. We normally have a very good system of keeping them apart, especially when a b**ch is in heat. This was a total mess up on my part, I am hoping sense he recovered so quickly and didn’t seem bothered in the least by this that it won’t make him even more defensive/aggressive then the norm for a Bulldog. Thanks for the help
BD, you will have problems when pup matures, both males will want to be the top dog.
oldearthdog saidne of the males will want to be boss and that can present problems if you are not in complete control.
With Pitts you have your hands full, just the natural instincts of the breed will cause most concerns. Very strict OB may help some. Yes you will have to be much more careful in the future.
I keep a padlock on my kennels, eleminates probles such as you had.
As for the pup being tramutized because of this encounter, most likely not if he's stable before the scuffle.
