I have 3 male dogs in my house for the past 3 years. In the past 12 months, as Tristan grew physically bigger although he is the youngest in terms of age, he began to question the authority of the oldest male dog every couple of months.
3 months ago - the two of them fought, and this time, Tristan won , leaving the oldest dog with surface wounds on the neck. There is no intent to injure fatally, just to try to gain territorial rights.
As such, they have been separated - because the dogs remember.
This cannot be long-term - and we have unwillingly decided to put Tristan, he being the youngest (the other 2 dogs are almost 10 years old) up for adoption - in the hope that he will find a good home who will love him - as he adores people and is very affectionate.
Tristan is 3 years old, pure-bred, and loves to play fetch, plus being in the company of people.
