Hi Everyone
This weekend we had Rudi's litter brother Barney over for a visit (11 weeks Old). They started to play fight and this went on for about half hour. Everything was fine, chasing each other around the garden and generally having fun. Then I think Rudi warned his brother that he had enough but Barney just kept on going and then Rudi just went into what I would call a proper fight with him. I had to pick him up.
Could this be a terrortorial thing or just putting him in his place. I must say I was a bit concerned, he has not behaved like this before. When I put him down again he moved away from Barney and the ears went down. Maybe Barney hurt him I don't know, but 10 mins later they were eating out of the same bowl and everything was fine again.
Rudi is the smallest of the litter by quite a bit, I don't know if this has anything to do with it. Maybe I am looking too much into it, a bit of reassurance would be most grateful.
Thanks
Anna (Mum of Harvey & Rudi)
