i own two dogs, one is a 5 year old terrier and aother is a 5 month mongrel. eventhough the mongrel puppy size is larger then the terrier, the puppy seems to be afraid of the terrier. sometimes when i'm not free to play with the puppy, he will takes his towel and run toward the terrier and wanted to play tug a war with him. but the terrier is so unfriendly and always tends to bark at him. sometimes they also fight and bit each other. very noisy.

well...my terrier mix does fight with my other dogs....she's the smallest among 5 dogs i have.. the bigger dogs tend to bully her by pulling her tail..i guess that irritates her...
my pom'll always have the wrong idea whne the lab tries to go near him...thinking that she's attacking him(pom's very dominant), so he'll fight with her but she just playlah..like kanak-kanak..hahha
Talking about fighting, my silky (hazel) is always very hostile to my GR (hugo - whom join the family later). They dont seem to be on good terms with each other and hazel can be quite jealous whenever we sayang hugo. One is super small and the other is big (not huge yet) - could be a possible reason.. Really wonder how to get them "in terms" with one another.. any suggestions?
I own 2 Great Danes, one male 5 months and one female 1 year 6 months. I seldom let them "play" coz my Ravenboy's ears are still healing. So, it is better not to let them play fighting. But, I can see that Raven is a bit aggressive towards the older female, Crystal.
i think you better start "caring" when they fight. you will never know how serious a harmless fight can get...both your doggies might end up with injuries and so...
ah...if you treat both hazel and hugo like normal children, you will understand why they are acting in such way.
all the while, Hazel has been receiving 100% attention. now she has to divide her attention with Hugo..try loving both equally. when you want to pat Hugo, make sure you pat Hazel as well.
i don't think they are playing. they look serious. i think is actually because the terrier is not friendly with the large puppy. but the puppy tends to play and irritate him.

ya, i'm worried about that also. coz the terrier seems to bit on the puppy face and strecth the skin . i think its painful. sometimes i'll separate them by chaining the terrier. but then he will starts to bark. very noisy again. i'm afraid that my neighboor will poison them.

why don't you try training them not to fight. hit both of them whenever they engage in a fight followed by a loud "NO"...repeat whenever they try to fight...
Ear cropping is actually "cosmetic surgery" for dogs. The procedure requires full anesthesia. The ears are then cut in a way that instead of flopping down to the side of the head, they stand erect on the head to a point.
i think ur terrier is trying to show dominance here while ur bigger pup there is just being playful...just give them some time...if they can click along..i'll see it soon while if they hate each other...the terrier'll juz walk off n ur pup'll learn this too
Let hope they'll...mine has done so..my lab'll never fight with my pom coz she knows that she has to be submissive..especially ur pup is still young..he's still playful..have to be patient loh
my rott is really laid back where he usually hides under some shade (either my mom's clothes drying under the sun or his kennel) and he doesn't really care about the other dogs, a lab and my sister's pom.
whenever they eat, the lab and pom are usually afraid of my rott and they let him eat first...hehehe..like the "dai gor"...
as for odie, he doesn't have any other mates to play with..so he fights with his daddy and grandpa Meme
Sorry for the late reply..and thanks for ur advise..well, i think we are being very sensitive to both hugo and hazel and always treats them fairly.. just cant understand why the terrier is still being very "chuin (stuck-up)" towards the GR..really need to find a way/method to get them along..
i think it's pretty natural for terriers...my mixed terrier also the same...very "chuin" towards the dalmatians. whenever i pat the dalmatians, she would slam her whole body on them...luckily both my dalmatians are patient enuf or my terrier would be their doggy snack... ....
hahaha doggy snack..yeah..especially in my case..one super small and one is a huge fella. Oh! And I also just got a new silky terrier (male) named Harry (almost 2 months). Hopefully Hazel and Harry will slowly slowly get along and play together. Hazel is still very "chuin" but Hugo, though so huge as compared to the pup, is so excited to see Harry.. Wish me luck !
another silky??...make sure Hazel and Harry don't team up just to bully Hugo .."The Silky Terror"...ahahaaa....
since Hugo had a postive reaction on the new fella, it shouldn't be a problem.they will get along just fine... i guess the only problem would be bald spots on your GR..puppy loves to bite!!!!
Aiy..talking abt GR having bald spots..I think it's gonna be the other way round with Harry being "bathed" with Hugo's saliva..dunno why Hugo's saliva is dripping all over Harry whenever he smells Harry???... dunno if this is considered "hamsap" but both are males !!!
And guessed there wont be any "Silky terrors" YET coz both Hazel and Harry also still not playing together yet ..really hope they will..
hohoho..."bathed" by Hugo's saliva....good la...just apply shampoo on Harry and voile, your assistant, Hugo will "rinse" the shampoo off him....save time!!!
don't worry..it takes time for Hazel accept the new fella, but not impossible...good luck!!
my poor Hazel is now avoiding Harry..when he is in the living room, she will go to the kitchen and when he goes near her, she will runaway !! Hmmm..wonder when they will get along..
do you have this problem? mayb u can share to me some trick u did to get them along..hahaha
hmmm...introducing a cat counted? when i first introduce my cat(teenage cat then) to my dogs, they were like "destined to kill each other"..loads of growling and barking as well as clawing.....so when they start to growl i would raise my voice and smack them...after a few times, they got the message, if they fight they will be punished..it took almost 1-2 weeks for them to get along..
Hmm..Hazel doesnt bite Harry nor fight with Hugo..She just ignores them whenever they go close or near her. If they get too close to her, she would growl or bark at them..other than that, she does her own thing in her own private little world ! Hahaha
well, if it's not severe...just clean the wound with a disinfectant n spray some medicine but if it's worse, go n see the vet. meanwhile, juz seperate both of them
hmmm..my Hazel also can be the 2nd "pah pai poh" !! come to think of it..she is like an empress at home with all attention and love but when there are other dogs, she very "lau ya" one...aiy
is ur terrier white in color?? i saw on the photo gallery u've got two ! and yes..we can form "The Pah Pais" team.. hehehe
Oh..talking abt lil Harry..he's so so cute and active and tough ! Boy..he will kacau Hugo and sometimes snatches Hugo's biting toys..and he really "invites" Hugo to play though he's so small sized..a real "cili padi"..thank God Hugo gives in to him always.. otherwise u wouldnt wanna know what will happen.. => Hugo is such a loving fella !
Oh yeah..btw, Hazel's now on heat..can Harry, still so young, play with her? can it be dangerous ?
We live in Kepong. Perhaps we can meet up someday !!

the white fella is Fishball..he's a cross spitz...didn't upload Baby's photo on the gallery....maybe later after my exam...
ahaha...Hugo's such a good boy..qualified as a loving father......
not too sure if it's safe for harry to play with hazel...but when my terrier was on heat, fishball showed interest by humping her eventhough he's only 5 months old...
talking about posting photo..i was on the way up-loading but later found out dat the pic pixels are too huge..aiy..so i gotta do something first..hopefully can up-load soon !
hmm..so i'd better keep Hazel and Harry apart..in case "accident" and Hazel still so "chuin" sure bising one.. haha
Hugo is indeed a loving fella but still too young to take care of his bro.. Though Hugo is big in size, he's only 10 months old. So I supposed keeping them apart when no one is at home is best.. They (Hugo and Harry) are only allowed to play with each other under our supervision !
What about yours?? How do u handle ur big and small furkids?
pixel too huge?? i guess you have to resize the pic..make it smaller..if you want, i can help you out..
can imagine how hugo play with harry. Hugo gotta watch his step..scare terpijak lil harry..ahahaa
well, my dogs sleep, train, eat and play together..although my terrier can be cocky at times, she does play with the rest of them...but the dalmatians(puzzle and patches) have to be careful while playing with her lor...cannot pull her tail or sure kena baham...ahaha..
Fishball has a problem playing the the dalmatians...when he couldn't catch up, he would merajuk and make funny noises...then he would hunt for flies by himself..
i won 2 dogs too.. i have one minpinwhich is 3 yrs old and a labbie which it's just only 3 months old... and i want to share my experience with you... my minpin is the most pampered dog that i ever had... my family pampered him the most and then he will always wanted attention frim me and my mom. and whenever we go he will followed us and was very attach to us... then when my my new labbie arrive my minpin was of course really angry and sad .. plus very jealous.. cause right now the new pup has taken half of his attention from us... and then he started to bark and growl at my new pup... and i think it was time to show my minpin that he have to share the love we give and then let him know that no matter what, we still love him the same... so we give them equal of everything and then play with both of them equally and bring them out together and let both of them play together and get to know each other... hmm.. i guess it does take time... for them to bond with each other... just let them be together much more longer and then let them get used to each other... and right now.. both of them are really happy to be with together... and sometimes if they don't see each other they will felt sad and lonely.. and guess what my labbie is now much bigger than my minpin and they can cope with each other now.. i guess you don't need to worried so much.. ~~~ It'S a DoGgY DoG WorLD~~

actually i'm not very worried about it at first. but until one day, i found out that kinki get hurt at her ear. so now i'm very concerned about them. and whenever they starts to fight, i'll quickly separate them.
hope that they will become friends one day.

dognap Harry??..i think pretty ez also..u know le..the saying goes "retreiver is so frenly that they will bring the thiefs to the silver and gold"...hahaha..
well don't worry too much wheter they get along or not.. just make sure that your equal and justice in treating them and they will tend to understand... if this still happen you might need to seperate them... .. just remember, it takes time for them to bond.. and mine takes time too, but i guess it all depends on the owner on how to treat them and giving them attention... good luck .. cheers~~ ~~~ It'S a DoGgY DoG WorLD~~

hmm.. kinki got hurt ? that's really bad... have you put some medicine on kinki... cause sometimes it can cause some infection to kinki's ear... hmmm... i guess you need to give ur dogs know who is the boss and let them know when you say no to them they will fully understood what you mean.. and when they growl or fight, try to say no sternly and not seperate them as soon as they fight.. cause as they fight and you seperate them, they will not get to know much more about each other and also they tend to be used to being fighting and they know you'll seperate them,... and this is not good... ~~~ It'S a DoGgY DoG WorLD~~

oh, is just a minor wound. very small one. and i have treated her with some iodine. ever since kinki got hurt , now she's afraid of the terrier already. always keep a great distance from him.

well, it's good to know that kinki is having a minor wound on it ... hmm.. i bet your terrier is really brave with such a small body then... hmm.. i guess kinki doesn't want to have any trouble with your terrier cause your terrier is really a cili padi then... i guess your terrier has show kinki who is the boss beside you then... haha ~~~ It'S a DoGgY DoG WorLD~~

u know-er..this Harry can be quite fierce le..he will kacau Hugo and bite his lips and ears..aiy..luckily his teeth are still tiny..but when he nibbles me..painful ooo =) .. must train him not to bite..i think they are playing but worried in the future they will fight.. hgmmm
wah...since when Harry became so bold?? start to bully Hugo..must feed cili padi edi..teach Harry to respect..kakakaka
it's normal for Harry to bite...gigi itchy mah...get him some toy to chew on lor..i don't think he and hugo will fight later on since Hugo so friendly...
yalor..must teach lil Harry abit.. he is so tough and bold.. i do give each one a cheewy rawhide to chew on..but tis lil Harry tends to go snatch Hugo's when he has his own.. Now they both exchange their cheewies whenever they suka.. siao... =P
and when they play tug-a-war..sure Harry lose..but when he wins..he will runaway from Hugo..hahaha => Now Hugo barks at Harry liao..aiy..bising
good mah..now they learn how to share...mine very teruk case...if one fella got something interesting in her/his mouth, the rest would charge..like rugby..
play tug-a-war??so cute...how can Harry win???play cheat kah??
cheat..dunno-le.. i guessed Hugo give in-lor..otherwise..Harry will be flying all over the place..
Last time Hugo seldom bark..(we almost thought he was dumb until he started barking abit)..now with Harry around..he just wanna bark at him but he's so loud..dunno whether he will scare Harry away..
yeah yeah now tis cili padi learning to do his (small) biz on the newspapers..hooray ! but sometimes..still mis-q-le..but at least when we shout at him (if mis-q) he knows he did something wrong and quickly run back into his cage.. cheecky!
well it goes the same to my minpin, he is the famous chili padi in my area.. and his little voice can reach to the end of the street... hahaha... small body with a big thinking i guess.. haha and guess what my labboe is the bigger size of his is kinda scared of him too... hey do you think we should let our babies join the police force ?? hehe ~~~ It'S a DoGgY DoG WorLD~~

hi..hi.. I've got a question..if ur bigger dogs do something wrong and u scold them and punish them (while u continue to sayang ur other dogs) ..do u think they will feel "left out" or jealous ???
my Hugo payed wif newspaper and we punished him..last time he learn and he understands quite fast but lately he refuse to listen and continue his newspaper biting spree.. I am worried dat he's trying to get our attention by doing wrong..aiyah... what do u think???
hmm...not too sure...they normally do something wrong together..i scold also scold all of them..even if i dunno which fella was the culprit, i will just scold all....
maybe..maybe not..he could be trying to seek attention since most attention diverted to Harry (puppy mah..sure get more attention lor..kekeke)....or he could be just plain bored..retrievers need adequate walks...moreover Hugo is still young and hyper...take him for walks to drain his "hyperactiveness".....hyper dogs can be quite "destructive" because of their high energy level...they couldn't release their extra energy thus leading to paper tearing, shoe biting and etc........
hmm...try walking him and see what's the result...
ahaa...those fellas love to "joint venture" wan...if one starts tearing newspaper, the rest will join in the fun...so does digging the garden and etc...caught them few times oledi...they tot i wasn't looking...kakakaa...
gang leader?till now i'm still trying to find out who's the gang leader..always rotate among themselves....but my guess would be Fishball since he's the cheeky and the most naughty fella..
haiya..dun see him kecil kecil like dat..he got real attitude and very tough ("tak takut mati one").. sometimes i think he can be disodedient one... how le?
i was walking her with my bf...that time she was on leash but the leash ter-slipped while my bf was adjusting the length...so happen my neighbour's GSD was barking at Baby...she rushed to the GSD and started biting( i would say nibbling la..hahaa) him lor..
nope..she the second youngest..around 1 year 6 months old(dunno her exact D.O.B)..
hahaha...just the other day i asked my bf why we named her Baby...her attitude doesn't suit her name at all....her initially name was Bubble but she only respond to "Baby" when she's still a pup....
Ya-lor !! They are almost same aged and almost named "Bubble" and both same kinda attitute - pah pai..kakakaka .. wonder what else thay have in common???
sorry for such a late reply, i was kinda busy late with my work. hmm.. about your questions about having any side effects or unusual behavior after vaccination, hmm... yes there is, my pincher will be very tired sleeping all day and don't feel like eating and another labbie will be overhyper active, but don't worry, it will only last for one /two days.. ~~~ It'S a DoGgY DoG WorLD~~
