I have a question, do other dog breeds typically respond or treat EBs with dislike, aggression or fear? Since we got Canelo at 6 weeks in 2011, we've noted how other dogs immediately act like they don't like Canelo and that he's a threat. Even our pugs at first didn't like him, now they are a 3 pack and they have their squabbles over toys, bones, and people.
Last year our inlaw's got a red nose tip pitbull puppy, female and named her Zoe. Last year when she was s pup she was scared to death of Canelo even though he has never barked or shown aggression. She sees Canelo about once a month and she is always skiddish around him. This weekend we went to Zoe's home. She immediately started barking, hair standing up at Canelo. My female pug, Lola, Zoe was trying so hard to be friends with, our male pug Chug, no issue with him. Saturday morning, Zoe went after Canelo to attack him. He was at the bedroom door of our inlaw's, she was in their room AND their 9 year old daughter was loving Canelo when Zoe went for Canelo. Canelo ran to me, he never growled or barked, he got scared. Zoe was called into the bedroom and kenneled. The 9 year old was safe. So we've been watching both Zoe and Canelo. Canelo could care less, has no issue with Zoe, Zoe though is very reactive so we are wondering if his size, his jowls, his bottom jaw sticking out, his breathing, his teeth and tongue hanging out at times may be causing some of the reaction he gets from Zoe. Also, I'm worried about Zoe down the road. She is VERY protective of the 9 year old, she's very good around us and the pugs but I WILL NOT put Canelo in a risky position again. I've never had a bad experience with a pit, know their reputation, believe training is critical and important but in this situation I feel she feels threatened by him, I want to understand why to see if it can be remedied but I'm not sure it's possible. Thoughts?
