Strange Behavior?
My brother's dog had 8 puppies, three died. She is part GSD and so is the father. They seem to be having a problem:
Our bitch has been whelping successfully for a week. However now she has
started to show more aggressive actions toward the puppies. Very difficult
to describe, she will quickly grab them with her mouth and move them away
but while others are nursing. She sometimes growls or barks when she does
this. It is a random puppy not one in particular. She doesn't seem to be
particularly sore from nursing and if you take away the puppy she acted on
she gets very upset and when we immediately put it back she seems to protect
it. We are concerned that she may get rough to the point of hurting a pup.
Any insight would be appreciated.
Has anyone had this problem? Any ideas? Thanks!
