I haven't had two pyr fight but I did have a black
lab female and a pyr male get into a continuous power squabble. Jascha
(about 3yrs old), the pyr, finally used a bit more force and Elinor (about 9yrs
old), the lab, backed off. After that they spent about six
months with Elinor acting submissive, another six months just avoiding each
other and a few months later they were friends again. Jascha went into
mourning when Elinor died four years later. During the worst of it,
the vet recommended banning all bones especially meaty ones. He seemed to
think that meaty bones (cooked or not) brought out the worst agression, I
did not resume giving them any more bones. While these were both house
dogs and the final battle took place in my kitchen, there was also enough room
for the dogs to avoid being near each other indoors and outdoors.
So, it did work out because there was enough space and because Elinor
learned that she was no longer chief dog because Jascha was just too
strong.
I assume that I do not need to remind you not to
get between two dogs who are fighting, they can bite you without ever intending
to just because of the proximity. I learned to respect Jascha's jaws when
he was six month old and crushed a dog food can -- a full, unopened can and left
multiple tooth holes in it as well! Amy
