So I've come to the conclusion that Ramsay doesn't really like other bulldogs!
The first time he met another bulldog was 2 weeks ago (so he was 4.5 months). They were both on leash and right as the one came close to Ramsay's face he snapped at it. Then a day later, we went to a meetup in Toronto where he was snapping at all of the other bulldog puppies his own age! He didn't really seem interested in the older ones. Eventually he started playing with one other pup at the very end of the meetup. I think he saw all of the other puppies playing together and he wanted to join in. He was honestly sitting like a loner in the corner most of the time! Taught him a lesson though that if you're mean the other puppies won't want to play with you. And then just two days ago we were at the vet and there was a 8 week old puppy that the technician brought in to meet Ramsay. Again, within two seconds snapped at it.
He isn't like this with other dogs. He's played with a bullmastiff to a golden retriever to a bull terrier to a yorkie with no issues... but bulldogs seem to be a problem.
I think he's just worried that they'll "out cute" him and he won't be the center of attention anymore
But in all honesty, has anyone else ever dealt with this? All I want is for Ramsay to play with his own kind! Plus if I'm ever thinking of getting another bully in the future I would hope it wouldn't be a problem.
