2huskypups Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 Hi there, So first off new on here, but thought I'd see if other husky parents had the same issues. I have 2 huskys one is a female who is 11 months old (Storm) and the other is an 11 week old male (Taz). They are biological siblings from different litters. We have had both since they were 8 weeks old. So about 3 weeks with both together. For the most part they have gotten along great. Played really well together even been very loving together. Until 2 days ago. Storm has nipped at the puppy a couple of times but 2 days ago she attacked him pretty badly. He's at the vet now recovering from a severe jaw fracture and an extensive surgery. We are literally heart broken and never saw this coming. The puppy will be coming home from the vet with a long rough recovery ahead and obviously we will keep them separated indefinitely. But what I need is advice on how to reintegrate them to each other once he's healed. I'm going to try to get help from a behaviorist as well. We love both dogs so much and I do not want to have to get rid of one of them. Any advice or similar experiences would help a lot. Thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BingBlaze n Skyla Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 Was there anything leading up to her attacking him? What were they doing b4 it happened etc? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emma Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 Was there any food involved or toys? Does Taz keep pestering Skye? Consulting with a behaviourist is definitely a good idea for this situation. I don't want to contradict any advice given to you from a professional as obviously they will have a much more insightful and experienced view of what's happening and how to approach it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmscott Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 · Hidden Hidden Have you spoken to the breeder? if this is in their lines they need to know. Especially if they decided to do a repeat breeding this close. 1 Link to comment
loudlucky Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 Has your female pup been in season yet? Reason I ask is that when my Smokey came into season (and even the week before) she would turn into the 'bitchiest' thing on 4 legs! She even bit my hand open during her first season! And that from a dog that's the most loveable and sweetest girl ever! Like the others asked, what triggered the attack? There must have been some 'event'... Be it food, toys, could she have been in pain? If not and this came totally unexpected and nothing caused it, you should seriously have a chat to the breeder like Jaimie suggested. Ask about aggressive behaviour in the parents or other pups When I got my second Husky (Tsunami) at 9 weeks old, Smokey was a bit over a year old and she played pretty rough with him, so I never left them unsupervised... Now the roles are reversed and he bullies her! She had a (very expensive) vet visit earlier this year because he grabbed her over the shoulders and it caused a 'blood bubble' from the bruising between her shoulder blades! Mostly they get along great, but sometimes one is moody and then a little 'disagreement' happens, but never so bad as to break skin...
