If anything I learned that now my dogs will go outside 1 at a time. The 2 females got into a bad fight this morning. Very long story short. End result......... Tasha, 16 stitches in the ear..... Diamond, 7 small punctures to the face and head.
Takes one mistake of that Brennan to learn the lesson
I was out of state and had a friend to go by to let the dogs out one @ a time
Needless to say the dominant bitches dominanted him (speaking of dominating another #*%@^)
Well $3,200 later and a bitch that leg was so bad they thought she would not fully recover (thankfully she did with a little holistic care <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
But from now on, I will be the ONLY one to mediate this or have them under the care of professional boarding service in case I have to go out of town, etc
But don't get so caught on the fact that they "seem" to get along fine
Any hormonal change may create a disaster for ya. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />
I fully understand it. One of them is in heat and she's at the bottom of the totem pole so one minute alone was enough to "set it off." My 13 yo brother was out there and didn't know what to do. I've been a vet tech for almost 8 years. My benefits include free care for all of my animals so it saved me about $1,000. It could have been so much worse but it wasn't.
Sorry to hear about this it can be pretty frightening
experience, I have been down this road myself, they can live together fine, then one day it all changes, they may never be ok together again.I found once these two of mine had it in for each other, I had to rehome one, the friendship was over.They were both dominant, and had the appropriate age gap,one was spayed and the other entire, so hormones and genes do play a huge role.The one female was always looking for a step up.I do have runs but this did not even help,they so much as sniffed each other and it was war.it was very stressful living like this <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
I also had to read and learn as much as I could about
dominant dogs, and Ed's articles helped me a helluva lot.

same here, i had 2 males. One adult and one puppy. when the puppy's testosterone kicked in, it was war. i seperated the yard which worked for a while. then it got to where they could not see each other. I also had to rehome a dog. Now i have a male and a female. much better living conditions but i still watch them like a hawk.
