grizzer – Sep 29, 2008 12:00 AM

Grizzer continues to let out a half bark at the pups, flustered when they get too active. He is also teaching Denali some bad habits, like banging on the water bowl before a feeding. On Wednesday, Shadow had a bit of irritation with some activity in the wolf yard, and started bark-howling. This created redirection toward Grizzer, with some hard muzzle bites and intense aggression. Grizzer then redirected toward Malik and did a chase around the pond. The pups scattered, and watched before Denali began in the chase. When Shadow dominates Grizzer, he is very submissive, and Malik takes advantage of the situation and goes in on a bite for Grizzer, but when Grizzer is away from Shadow, there is no question that Grizzer is higher ranking than Malik.
