boltz – Sep 1, 2012 12:00 AM

There are times when we have to look closely to identify Boltz versus Aidan when they come out of the woods. There's no mistaking Denali, the long legs are a definite Denali trait, but Boltz is really developing well. Boltz continues to be submissive, and he is clearly intimidated when Aidan and Denali show dominance towards each other. We've had some challenges feeding Boltz, even if he's hungry, he doesn't defend food well and will back away if Denali is excited. We've resolved this issue by locking Denali up into holding, or our first priority, getting both pups into the medical pen. Of course, this means Luna would need to come in as well, and that can be a challenge. Luna does what Luna likes when Luna wants… Boltz readily comes into holding and sees it as a relaxing place to escape the heat.
