| Whenever we're not at home, I keep the dogs separated, that is my 13 yr. old GSD and the heinz 57 stay in one room, door closed, the rott has the rest of the house, but often she gets to stay in the room - alone. We decided this would be the best thing to do since on different occasions the rott attacked the mixed breed with, I'm sure, the intent to kill her (the blood-curdling growling that was coming from her I shall NEVER forget). Since that terrifying day I bought a hot shot. Haven't had to use it yet, and hopefully never will. Guess I should have listened to my mother ("Never get two bitches, they'll try to kill one another...") Keeping them separated actually has not been such a difficult thing to do, though I must admit that every morning I call my husband from the hospital and ask/remind "Are the dogs separated?" (Yup, I'm still psychologically traumatized!)
Good luck to you:) |
