My brother has a boxer, his name is Leo. I was dog sitting him and my brothers other dog Grace she is a min pincher- They all get along great! Grace just ignores Pnut, she is somewhat older about 8. Leo is younger than Peanut he is 2. When I go to their house Peanut is fine, he allows them to sniff (when Pnut is on the floor) If Pnut is in my lap and Leo comes up to see us and Leo gets too close, Pnut will growl and show his teeth.
I do believe it is more protective behavior that Pnut has.
When I was dog sitting, we took them all out in the back yard to play. Grace was doing her own thing and Dh threw the ball for Leo- Well Pnut saw that and ran to get it- so did Leo. Peanut got there first and grabbed the ball, Leo went to play tug of war with it and Pnut snapped at him! He snapped and growled really loud to Leo, Peanut was attacking Leo- Poor Leo, didn’t know what to do. At this time Peanut was going all crazy and still growling and biting at him- As DH is running over, I see Leo take his big ol head and lay his head on top of Pnuts’ he was obviously trying to over dominate but he did it in his own way where he didn’t attack Peanut. He kept taking his head and trying to push Peanut down. that is what it looked liked me us, Dh got over to them and took Pnut away from the situation.
It was crazy! I was sooooooo thankful Leo didn’t do anything! That could have been really bad!! I thought I was going to keep them separate the rest of the weekend but right after that we went inside and Peanut was fine with Leo. They were snuggled in the same bed 15 mins later!!
I did learn my lesson, if we dog sit them again, I wont have same play time!
Yes we need a club- what can we call it!??
