getn worse

is it normal for 4wk old littermates to fight. it was cute and funny at 3wks. now its getn more serious.. is this cause for concern??? this is my 1st litter

 

yeah they always step in their feces and cut eachother with their sharp teeth n nails,keepem clean

 

yep... unless you got bullys

 

lol..the sire is a show dog but the dam is off some real gd eli-bullyson blood..

 

is this typical for pits only or do other breeds go thru this as well?

 

uh.. well ive never dealt with anything producing other then pits and thats pretty rare so I cant give you advise there, but I know when I bred china and she is heavy wallace and a jeep boy those pups were fighting and snarling at each other around 3-4 wks!

 

separate them when not nursing. pair them off if you can. If you can't- just know some dogs don't need canine friends!

 

mann,thats gd news...if thats the case i think ima have me sum real dogs!!!

 

meant real gd dogs!!!lol

 

it doesnt realy mean that mate. it just means at this stage they are acting pretty normal.

 

pups being pups

 

not necessarily.. bully pups dont do it

 

Do you see much blood?

 

Could mean a couple things all regarding the normal shit that might make a dog a little more aggressive towards another. I've never had a problem with smaller litters, larger litters sometimes they can get rowdy and need to be seperated. It might just be a pup or two causing havok also and not the whole litter. Either way, its no biggie just seperate them.

 

yeah when u have big litters they will fight pretty early. I had to put the 2 biggest and 2 smallest in the house. 2 pups actually had to have stitches bc 2 of the biggers ones got ahold of them and all the dogs in the litter were tryion to get rid of the runts. At 4 weeks they can do damage so be careful

 

yea it might be a hint to how some of the pups personality or attitude might be like but thats it... and if they really gettin at each other seperate 'em, shouldnt be too hard.

 

Its normal puppy behaviour and you will see it in all breeds.

 

Yes littermates snarl and bite each other. All breeds. People always think if it is pit bulls that they are already DA but in reality all pups have been fighting with there littermates to survive since the day they were born. As time goes by they start to become less violent and start playing. Once they start eating solid food it not the same fight for survival.

 

dam!!! guess ima hav to wait n see...
