Brandi, GiGi & What Went Wrong
A lot of us have been following the cases of Brandi & Gigi. Two dogs that were being walked on leashes when they were provoked by smaller dogs and now they are on death row. The article Big Dogs-Little Dogs: Double Standard explains why.
It has to do with the fact that dogs who look more like wolves, just happen to know a greater number of behaviours that help in getting along in a pack. Little dogs don't know all of these behaviours, and it gets them into trouble. If a Norfolk terrier and a Siberian meet off leash, the terrier is likely to get into a fight. Why? Because it does not know any submissive behaviour. As it gets into the face of the Husky, a very rude and aggressive behaviour for a dog, the Husky will growl or show teeth to assert its dominance. A dog that knew the rules, would submit and that would be it. The terrier would not, and this could lead to a fight.
