I actually had one as a foster and she almost killed one of my pups right in front or me one day. She came to me as a puppy (8 mos) and had killed another pup in her home. My vet thought it unusual as did I. Were we ever wrong! I had never seen anything like it...in a matter of seconds, my girl ended up in intensive care. I NEVER leave my pups alone together if they have shown any signs of aggression towards another.
I also have seen others...just using the one as an example....
I may have posted it here...I am going to search to see if I did. |
I didn’t say it didn’t happen I said it wasn’t common and generally it’s not due to just having a high prey drive it is related to actual aggression. Just snapping though is not necessarily aggression it is one way that dogs communicate with each other. Punishing for snapping which is a warning could cause a dog to not give a warning anymore and just start biting.
