I prolly wouldn't have broke them up the first time. But I want to see the dogs at a year old. Them dudes are probly gonna be something.
With puppies we usually dont interfere and its usually over in a few minutes. This went on far too long. We had to break it up. I didny want to have to stitch a pup up.
Yes, they should be pretty gritty. Their parents are gritty and since these are line bred, im thinking maybe that trait has been intensified.
