grizzer – Aug 9, 2004 12:00 AM

The introduction has shown initial signs of success. Shadow showed the most dominance toward the pups, mainly due to the nearly constant food begging behavior of the pups. Both Shadow and Malik regurgitated large quantities of food for the pups. Shadow's dominant growls and bites were controlled, with enough force to get the point across, but soft enough for the smaller puppy heads. Grizzer was the first to swim in the pond and explore without intimidation.
