malik – Aug 4, 2008 12:00 AM

Malik's response to the pups today was better than expected. He did regurgitate some meat for the pups while in the pack holding area, and did have some soft muzzle bites over food possession issues with the pups, but overall, he was very tolerant. Shadow did dominate Malik early in the introduction and set the tone for the subordinate males interactions. One notable behavior related to the pups behavior, the seemed to target Malik for a chase and Denali did a ride-up behavior on Malik, a possible sign of dominance, or excitement.
