Are we talking english bulldogs, frenchies, olde english bulldogs, american bulldogs? Also what exactly are they fighting over, or does it appear to be nothing? What have you done to separate them or mitigate the behavior? At this time what are you doing to manage them?

Males can sometimes decide who's boss and the problems stop. females often carry a grudge and it's life long. Think two women (didn't say ladies) in a bar room fight. It's not about winning, it's about humiliating! There is a perfectly good reason the term "bitch" can have such a negative meaning. old dogs LOVE to learn new tricks

Roanne Rist Webboard User Reg: 10-05-2008 Posts: 61 Loc: ny Offline	I have kept them apart in different rooms of the house for a year now. This started when I let them play with the puppies of Safari's. They seemed to be doing great till Safari didn't like how Ruby was pushing one of her puppies just a little too rough. They got into a fight no blood but since then can't even seem to look at each other without growling. They try to turn their heads but when one of them happens to glance to see if the other one is gone a fight would start if we didn't interfere. I have 3 leerburg video's, Establishing Pack Structure, dealing with dominant & aggressive dogs and Basic dog obedience. No clue on where to start. All are wonderful people loving dogs and do very well when out for walks or visits together. It's at home they get aggressive with each other. Roanne Rist

I can't think of any circumstances where it would be a good idea. At least as far as mine are concerned. Ed has a pretty good article on introducing a new dog to your pack. You might want to start from the beginning. Personally if I have a couple of dogs that don't get along I don't push it. Someone always ends up bleeding and it's normally me.

It is, and now that the ship has sailed on that she has two dogs that don't want to get along. I wish I could say it would for sure be a fixable problem, but I simply can't. Some bitches can never get along without an incident and these two have history so just keep in mind, crate and rotate may be the best thing to hope for. http://leerburg.com/introducingdogs.htm I would start here and watch all the vids you received.

Roanne Rist Webboard User Reg: 10-05-2008 Posts: 61 Loc: ny Offline	Alot of Mastiff breeders I know have kept 2 litters together when raising puppies soooo I just thought it would work. They did get along beautifully before that like sleep together, eat together with absolutely no problems whatsoever. I will never do that again and am learning the hard way. I kept a daughter from Safari's litter and now she is getting a little pushy so want to learn how to change this behavior. I just placed Safari in a great home over the weekend so she can be happy and not be crated all the time. The 3 others get along great. I noticed I wrote 3 in my first post but I actually had 4, mother daughter, mother daughter. Now that Safari is place I have 3. Ruby 5 (spayed), Pebbles 2 (Safari daughter), and Annie 6 months (Ruby's daughter. Any help to prevent fighting before it starts would be wonderful. Thanks Roanne Rist
