From Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends
'This is the final video diary of Ocho , when he first arrived he had to go into quarantine so was not able to mix with the other dogs. He was so happy to finally get to play and this was an important test to see if he exhibited any agression or dominance to other dogs per the report from where he came from .. Introduced him to Brisa first, she wont stand for any nonsense he gambled up to her super fast she curled her lip and that was enough .. "OK I get it" said Ocho and was very respectful of her.. Next we brought in smaller Podencos equal or smaller in size to him and he just played like a regular pup. No aggression, no resource guarding of toys or treats. Respectful to the other dogs he has boundaries, no biting of dogs or people. The only thing when he first arrived he would jump up to you and in his excitement and grab your sleeve but that happens often with other dogs when they first arrive and easy to resolve.
There has been a lot of interest in Ocho and for now he is still under assessment. He also tested positive for Ehrlichia which goes to show puppies should be still blood tested. He needs a month's treatment of antibiotics and then wait a couple of weeks to retest. So far he is doing great.'
