Hey Y'all,
It seems that I can't ever get a nice, normal, dog. Because my sweet tempered 1yr old mastive? started attacking not just any dog but his non-related brother who he's been with since I got him in the spring. They play and rough house all the time. Eat together. Sleep together. I mean..like him, Sim, and my roomie dog who's in the pack of 3 just are best buddys.
But bo's had a bit of a problem. He's gone after 3 dogs. One was this intense sheperad who I saw bo tense up and I quickly gave up on seeing if they would get along. Dog roulette while he was here! The second was a visiting dog that's been here before when bo was scared by a bigger dog as a puppy. Roudy growled and went to bite him so bo ran and hid. This time roudy wasn't here but sasha was and she is a angel of a dog. Bo was sniffing her and than just went after her. He was bitting her on the butt. The third was while camping with a group of dogs. Spunky my freind dog was barking none stop and bo went after him. I pulled him off and he just when around for another attack.
Now the simba thing happened starting Sat morning. I went over my parents place to drop the boys off while i attended a ferret show. Well Bo and simba got into it. Blood everywhere. Both had punctures on their heads. Simba's 25-30lbs, bo's 76lbs. Simba got him good. So they were seperated. but noo...next? Bo goes after simba just as random as ever and they get into it. Mom used a broom to get them apart. Simba was at the end of the hall way sulking. Bo was in the living room. It happens four times saturday. the fourth being that sim was on dads lap and bo walks over and just Bites him on the butt.
I have them home now seperated. Everyone is sore and a little scraped up. Had them seperated between and gate and bo was just stareing at simba untill corrected. Simba's as bouncy and happy as ever. Doesn't seem to give a crap.
My questions are. Why now? How can i work back the harmony? Bo's been fine with the little dogs, and the hound mix that's in the pack i have created. I did read that mastives sometimes have dog aggression but against Simba? It's like twin sisters who love each other trying to murder each other. They are litteraly going for the throats.
Please tell me this isn't a forever thing. I need to fix this.
