grizzer – Mar 9, 2009 12:00 AM

Grizzer continues to be a calm influence this winter, and is certainly the source of the pups social behavior. It has been a learning experience since the August 2008 introduction, we've never experienced an adult wolf with this type of reaction, and personality change with the addition of pups. Grizzer is very respectful of Shadow and shows no indication that he will challenge Shadow this winter. The dominance rituals with Malik continue, but not with the same intensity we measured a month ago.
