Mon, March 7 2011...Oh My Goodness! How horrible and sad too! I just read the entire thread and have tears in my eyes. Poor Titan! Poor you watching and trying to separate Zeus from pup Titan. THIRTY MINUTES!!! I cannot imagine how horrible it was to watch big dog hurting pup and you could not stop it... unreal. I suppose Zeus stopped when he thought Titan was dead. I am so sorry.
My heart breaks for you re Zeus whom you love very much. However, I have to agree with Glacier that you cannot trust Zeus again and you cannot re-home with another family because you dont know what he will do in the future.
What a mess! I'm thinking how hard it would be to do what you might have to do with Zeus... but it was not normal behavior. I dont think you can trust him again. I am so sorry for your troubles and I hope Titan gets better and isnt scarred for life (inside and out) from this unprovoked attack. I watched his video recently and thought he was a sweet pup and you were good with him.
Sometimes we have to do things we dont want to do but down deep we know what has to be done. Again, I'm so sorry. ((Hugs)) to you... Kay in NC

That had to have been so scary trying to break up a fight for that long. As Nebo has gotten older he has little tolerance for puppies, when he was younger he was great with them. With both Keva and Skya he bit them in the face a few times when they were bugging him...never an attack though, just bit them and they ran off crying. They learned soon enough to leave him alone when he's had enough, they get along great now. Zeus' tolerance for puppies may be long gone, this sounds way beyond just intolerance though. Neither bully breeds or malamutes are known to be great with other dogs, its possible he felt Titan was a threat even if Titan didn't start anything...just being a male could be enough. Best of luck to you with whatever choices you have to make, and again, very sorry you've had to go through this.
