FIRST -- he didn't actually kill the pup, I was just in the kitchen and heard the pup yelp and went running. The pup is fine. All he had time to do was pick it up and take it out of the pen. DO I feel he WOULD have killed it had I not have been there? Yes.
My whelping pen is 4ft by 4 ft with a top kind of like a wire crate, with a front door. NORMALLY I remember to shut the gate when I let my momma outside to potty, this time, I forgot. I TAKE ALL THE RESPONSIBILITY. In 10 yrs I have never had this happen, and this male dog normally plays in the room with 6-8 week old babies and lays around with them crawling all over him. He loves babies.
I have had this particular dog in my house for about 6 years, he sleeps in the bed with my 2 yr old and have NEVER had issues with him. My 'dogs' are my kids as well as hunting dogs so unlike MOST hunters, my dogs all have access to my home. I have a dog door where they come in and out of the AC with a gate up so only the ones who are permitted have access to the entire house. My female Shorthairs all sleep on my couches or my bed and are completely ok if this dog is around them or their babies.
