Breeders dogs are outside in big runs. Out of the whole bunch of dogs she sat other side of the run of Jake. Jake is the real blood brother of Duke. Nyala knew that. So anyhooo we brought him home. All was great at the breeder n on the long drive home like long time buddies. But, yes a but.... for 2-3 months the fights I had to split up n never leave them on their own type thingy, wasn’t funny. I got bitten a few times. Both would look at each other n whamm fight. After a couple fights I realized it started with the stares. Would fight over a toy, bone, food just name it. Took months of training n being on their butts non stop. Couple yrs I have Jake now n they are best buddies. That being said, 2 weeks ago they did have a fight over a bone. If I had to go out Jake would be in the kennel locked up. That was for safety purpose.
Dogs are dogs, they probably will fight a few times even if you raised them as pups. You absolutely need to be there to supervise for the first few months.
