Thanks for your advice. I did consider him a much different beast than any dog I had owned or known. Clearly, he was not a “jumped up supercharged domesticated dog”. I don’t have your knowledge and have been told by others that I was lucky, or it was just a matter of time and circumstances before he turned Appreciate you taking the time to warn me.
Just remember; without a strong hand (doesn’t mean you can’t be loving and kind, everybody in my pack is daddy’s baby) any Alpha type personality in a canine pack will try for dominance.
All canines have a genetic imperative for an Alpha male and an Alpha female (the male may be subordinate to the female, but always second in the chain of command); in my pack I am the Alpha male and my wife is without any doubt, the Alpha female.
Dogs will fight for pack dominance; usually without killing, wolves will kill if they sense any weakness.
