Spicy French Bulldog Puppy 'Throwing Paws' at His Siblings Is Ready to Rumble
Puppies are the spiciest animals around. They literally never stop, whether that means causing endless chaos around your home or fighting their siblings for absolutely no reason at all. It's hilarious.
If you've never gotten to witness a puppy's battle firsthand, though, don't worry. Recently, one puppy caretaker showed off her newest litter of Frenchies getting their paws dirty. Their sweet little fight is everything:
Ironside Farms might just have the cutest Frenchie babies around. If I could, I would love to take that spicy one home - unfortunately, my girl Boston Terrier is already almost too spicy for me!
This is a very interesting farm, because it seems like in addition to breeding puppies, they also have a real farm. These French Bulldog puppies spend a lot of time playing amongst themselves, but at the same time, they also go out and play with goats. Frenchies are not a farm dog by any means, so I just love that!
In a follow-up video, his caretaker has made it clear that he is absolutely the instigator in around 99% of the fights - he may be small, but he wants everyone to know that he can totally handle a fight.
Why Do Puppies Love to Fight Each Other?
It's not because they don't love each other, I promise. A puppy will "throw hands" with just about anyone, and in most cases, they don't do it to be mean! They're only going after other dogs because they're trying to play, but seeing as they're new to the world, they haven't quite figured out how to play kindly yet. To be honest, they might never.
Dogs will engage in "fighting" as a form of play throughout their whole lives, regardless of breed. The line between the two is sometimes blurred, but telling them apart is fairly simple:
- Fighting dogs will have flattened their ears, while dogs at play typically have their ears up.
- Playing dogs will often wag their tails, while fighting dogs may tuck theirs between their legs.
- Playing dogs will often roll over to show the other dog they're not a threat, while fighting dogs won't submit.
- Though they're a little rough, playing dogs won't injure their playmates, while fighting dogs may be trying to protect themselves.
Paying may lead to fighting, too - if one dog wants to be left alone after a play session and the other won't go, they may turn aggressive to protect themselves. As long as you're watching them for signs of a switch, it's okay to let them roughhouse a little!
