Re: Rott Puppy Attacked (?) By Adult Rott...Questions

When I introduced Athena as a puppy to an adult male rott Rockie, he never grabbed her by the scruff of the neck, but his nub/tail waged a mile a minute. He knew it was a baby.

He put up with a lot of puppy play, never once got out of control with her - they were introduced when she was 11 weeks old. It was so cute to see them. But, then again, he never had issues with any dogs - makle or female. He lived with an adult lab mix too - same age as him.

I don't think it was a male puppy /male dog thing either, more of what Judy said: unsocialized dog. Dogs know who's a puppy and who's an adult.

Make sure your pup has a lot of good greet & meets with other dogs. If I remember correctly, 14 weeks is part of the second fear cycle.

If that had happened to my puppy, I'd be soooo pi$$ed! They need to get that adult dog under control. His response was way out of line (IMHO).
