Is my great dane acting jealous......
I have two dogs a Great dane (male) and a Jack russell (bitch) They are rather close
The JR is on heat at the moment and was seen to by a male a few days ago. At night times they sleep in a crate with the door open ... anyways the night she was mated with a male The great dane wouldnt go near her and totally ignored her and acted as if he was seriously ill...... panting and slumped to the ground as if he was hurting yelping when we touched anywhere. We even considered getting the vet out
Anyways he took him self to bed and slept on my duvet ! next day they were fine and he was fine Yesterday we left him at home whilst I went to feed my horses and he chewed my daughters doll - literelly shred it to bits! anyhow today we left him in the living room and hes totally eaten my sofa!!!!!! ironically we were sorting out contents insurance at the bank!!!! my sofa is a wreck but is he doing it through jelousy of the jack russell ....
he used to be a chewer as a pup but I thought grew out of it hes 4 now .....
Sounds more like love sick and frustrated than jealous. I am assuming he is castrated, but actually having an in season bitch around will still stimulate him, and castrated males have been known to mate bitches with enough provocation :D
hes not left alone with her now :) I dont trust him at the mo . although hes usually really well behaved - saying that weve never had her with another dog either. Yes hes castrated ... hes with her only when some one is there to 'supervise'
