Boltz- Setting some Limits
Initially when the pups were introduced into the Exhibit Pack, Boltz was protective, guarding and didn’t show much for dominance towards the pups. Since they are now over 70 pounds, Boltz seems to be setting some limits. At this point, Grayson seems to be the pup that gets some of Boltz’s focus, but Aidan seems to be quick to intervene and establish a few limits of his own. In a recent interaction over some frozen beef liver, Boltz tried a little testing, but Aidan had an intensity that quickly brought Boltz back in line. Despite of few of these ritualized dominance displays triggered by the frosty mornings, the pack is still very calm and Boltz has a much greater social interaction with the staff.
