1) How many Yorkies do you know that like bigger dogs.

3) Cowgirlc was moving toward an area of danger possibly (his opinion).
4) Gismo is confused, inexperienced in communicating.
5) Gismo does not know how to stop Cowgirlc.
6) Gismo only knows one way to hold on to something (bite).
I think he was in his "Protection" mode, and just didn't handle it too well.
The bite was only to capture/stop Cowgirlc, just badly executed.
I'm not trying to excuse anything here, just give MHO. |
To solve a behavioral problem, the cause must be identified. I believe this is the likely explanation for the dog's behavior.

(there are plenty of Yorkies that like bigger dogs, but what is the situation in this home with the GSDs?)
