I'm so sorry for the loss of your dog, especially under those circumstances :(
By 'mastiff' do you mean English Mastiff?
Is your Mastiff 10 months old
now, or was she 10 months old when the incident happend - if so how old is she now?
There are a few things that suprise me, firstly, your Mastiff pup getting a 'cob on' with the JRT, they should be a very patient breed and I'm suprised one would get irked by a small dog giving it some attitude, also I;m suprised at a Mastiff allowing another dog to drag it accross the floor by its neck (
that is a whopping weight to be pulling around using teeth on flesh without causing damage or ripping or puncturing flesh!!!)
and suprised at the sibling playing like that.
That said, from my limited experience play can be rough and without calm,kind patient handling/training I can see how
one could be more than a handfull as a youngster, let alone 2 siblings (if I'm reading the post right).
> Shes very respondant to me to where as before she wouldnt listen
I know it's not too wise to judge behaviour over the 'net, but to me this suggests she is lacking in confidance/feeling insecure
(IMO a frightened animal is a dangerous animal
). If she is only 10 months old, she has been from the breeder, to you, to your mum then back to you, that is 4 homes in her very short life, for a dog that gets very atatched to it's people, also a very sensitive breed that will pick up on the smallest 'bad vibes', especially if she is allready lacking in confidance/feeling insecure.
How long has she been back with you?
Does the breeder know what has happened? Has the breeder given you any advice?
This is a huge, powerfull dog, I strongly advise you to get her to the vet for a full check up & then to see a good behaviourist. You need to know, as much as it's possible to, why she is behaving as she is. This dog potentially has serious dog-dog aggression - the incident with the JRT may be limited to a ranking issue (3 females inthe house) and not to general dog-dog aggression - but you don't know what caused the incident and you can not take chances, especially with a dog this size.
Pelase make sure you have complete physical control of her on walks. If she does have issues with other dogs - she may be hiding at them the moment if she is feeling so insecure she is shutting off from everything, or doing her utmost to 'appease' you.
Please see a behaviourist that can assess her in person, so you know what you are dealing with - it may be nothing, she may just need time to settle back in, but I would NOT be taking the chance with such a huge dog that can out-power you.
