Andy Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 So we got there and gave Echo a ball throw to calm her down before the meet. Malaki arrived and we let them all off lead to get to know each other. Echo and Daughtry perfectly behaved had a sniff and run around. Darwin. . . Oh, Darwin. He went up had a sniff and launch teeth bared and having a go a poor Malaki. Malaki was wearing a muzzle, Darwin wasn't. Got darwin back on lead and Let Malaki run around with the other two. Every time Malaki came close to say Hi, and have a sniff Darwin went off. Took some photos when Darwin wasn't trying to eat Malaki. Kelly Christie Darwin and Malaki Echo good girl. Malaki face surfing in the dirt and daughtry coming for a look Malaki Happy in the muck Kelly Christie Echo and Darwin Daughtry and Malaki All together Christie and Darwin Malaki Echo and Malaki So what we are going to do is. . . . Take just Darwin back up to Milton Keynes tomorrow morning to meet Malaki one on one. Hopefully Darwin won't feel so much need to protect the rest of his pack. Both dogs will be fully muzzled up and they cam go at each other unable to do any damage eventually they should both figure each other out and start being curious and playful instead of "I wan't to rip you to shreds". If that happens then we'll probably have to keep them muzzled for a few days when Malaki comes back with us. Until they settle down. that's the hope anyway. Once again. . . Watch this space.

Andy Posted August 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 I hope round two goes well Andy - Malaki is truly gorgeous thanks rosemary we are going to be taking the two of them for a walk together first so they get used to being close together (without trying to eat each other) before we go into the tennis courts and let them off lead to get to know each other. they will be muzzled so they can work out their differences without (too much) harm.

Kells xx Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 (edited) yeah bought a cage muzzle for darwin today.... we have a mesh muzzle for echo for when she goes to the groomers i hope the knuckle heads get on tomorrow.... malaki needs a good home and we think we can provide that darwin needs boy time.... if it doesnt work out with malaki then we will try with a female we have the room and the time.... eventually we can add to the pack if its malaki then great if not then im sure another dog will fit in and be homed with us x Edited August 8, 2012 by Kells xx wanted to add a bit more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted August 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 what a lovely boy can't wait to meet him, good luck tomoz xxxx Thanks Linda. Just like we've had to work hard with Echo and Darwin. We can do the same for Darwin and Malaki. But THEY have to give us something to work with. We have to see some spark that they can calm down and be around each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
