boltz – Dec 1, 2012 12:00 AM

We have definitely noticed some confidence in Boltz. Not only is he defending his food, he was also observed doing a direct stare to Aidan with ears pricked forward. In Ethogram terms that means, “look out, I’m looking to move up a notch. Aidan held his ears back with a bit of intimidation and averted Boltz’s gaze which means, “ I’m not up for any testing today. Boltz gave him a muzzle bite and they both walked away together. We also see Boltz and Luna wrestling together and Boltz trying to do some dominance behavior over Denali, especially when Aidan has Denali on his back. This will be the last weight we gather until spring due to the cold weather issues with a metal scale. Boltz is well on his way to becoming a healthy adult.
