I’m not sure if this Chi mom is just mean, or like the title said, she is teaching her babies to be able to fight. What do you think about this video?

I remember that video from another time and I feel sure that is meaness by the mama and it makes me feel bad for those puppys.

She seems way too mean to me. I hope she doesn't make the pups mean. The mom is fighting with the one pup way too long.

I thought so too. I used to be a breeder and I don't remember my mommas being that mean.

Pretty sure that Mom is teaching her puppy, but after it accelerates ? A human should gently calm mama down. A little intervention is in order. I have video of my chi mix getting some hassle from her mama at about 5 or six weeks old. At 4 o’clock in the morning on the couch. Miss Polly was giving her pup lessons. Was really loud and fierce, maybe a little gentler with her shoving than your featured video. I ended up getting 2 pups from the litter at 8 weeks. After my 2 ate they would tie into each other like pitbulls. Loud, but not too rough with the play attacks. Never yelped nor had injury. I would intervene quite a lot. Probably more than I needed to. I was a first timer with Chihuahuas !

I'm glad your pups turned out okay. Maybe it is just teaching them but it does seem to rough to me.

Nope, don't think this is appropriate behavior of a Mom, dog, or human. Was hard to watch. The persons who adopt these puppy's will be wondering why the little Chi's are so aggressive, and hard to train. Which will cause the poor pups to be in a shelter someday. The owners should spay the mother after this litter to insure no more dogs learn this kind of behavior.

Yeah I tend to agree. I have had breeders tell me this normal behavior but I never saw it when I was a breeder.

I could only get through less than half the video! It was very upsetting to me. We're supposed to train our pups with rewards and praise. NOT this way. NEVER! I'm still shaking from this video.

I'm sorry it upset you Linda.
