| Re: dog fights
I am very sorry for your loss...And I completely disagree with the advice to euthanize your dog. Although I can say I would understand if you decided to rehome her. In your original post you say the chi did not put up the with playfulness from the female. I would more than likely guess your rott was trying to play and the chi acted agressively which caused your rott to react and like several others have responded didn't realize her own actions...Or a battle for the alpha roll which the rottie is obviously going to win if it gets physical. When I was young we had a similar situation. We had a bulldog and had taken in our cousin's boston terrier. Well the boston terrier continued to try to be dominant over our bulldog. We came home one day and the Boston was dead on the porch with a toothmark through her chest. It was sad, but I never held it against my bulldog. (Hindsight is 20/20, so looking back we should not have left them alone together in the backyard). |
