Goose will be 10 weeks old tomorrow and we have only had him a little over a week. We also currently have a 4 year old border collie how was an outside farm dog for almost 4 years. Since bringing goose home the bc does not take her eyes off him and is constantly pestering the pup to the point of amazement. The bc constantly is biting his ears feet and puts her whole mouth around his neck sometimes making him yelp. I know it's a border collie and they heard but this isn't the same thing and I'm worried it's going to affect the way goose behaves. We are looking for a new home for the border collie because she has already bit my son once and I don't trust her with the kids. On to my question.
I know pups are going to nip from time to time but there have been a few times where he yelped as though he was being hurt from my wife or I just gently moving him to correct him from chewing on something or trying to get him back in the house. It wasn't just a nip but a bit of a pissed off I'm not happy kinda nip with some yelping to go along with it. I'm pretty sure the constant pestering from my bc isn't helping any. Also knowing I have a presa I'm not sure if I'm over reacting but knowing the capabilities of these dogs is making extremely cautious about how he is being raised. The mom and dad were great around kids and pretty good all around. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.
