Two male puppies- play

Post by samson_delylah »

Hi,
I live in the countryside in Sicily. In October 2022 two Italian segugio puppies-hunting dogs, 1 month old according to the vet, arrived on their own. I could ony pick them up by the scruff of the neck as I'm sure they had never been handled before, they bit and screamed. Hours of positive training later, they are adjusting well- the vet can check them over without problems. Now their play fighting is getting rougher. One is obviously more dominant- Do I let nature take its course and allow one to be more dominant? Should I castrate one or both of them? I am hoping to avoid problems in the future. Btw they are good with my other two elderly female sterilised dogs and ok with the kitties, too.
Thanks for any suggestions
