I don't know what I would do if I had dogs I couldn't keep together without seriously injuring eachother. It's easy to say I'd rehome but that's a really difficult decision to make. I've been very lucky so far, all of my dogs get along great. I worried about Nebo and Killer but unless Killer tries to hump Nebo (which he only does when people are outside - he gets jealous of attention ) they are fine together. I have to watch it when I throw a ball because Killer always wants the other dogs ball so I have to throw one for him and one for Nebo and they are fine. Even when they've gotten mad at eachother its been a bit of noise and that's it not a mark on either dog. Keva and Skya both get bratty with other female dogs sometimes but they love eachother. I've seen Keva put Skya in her place before and pin her down but she's never hurt her. Keva didn't like Sydney my mom's schnauzer very much and they got into a couple scuffles, one time resulting in a couple of punctures (it was over food) but nothing major. They got along fine on a daily basis Keva would just get jealous of Syd sometimes and be a brat to her.
As they've all gotten older they don't seem to take to new dogs as well so I'm cautious when introducing them to new dogs. Keva hates Corby's parents lab, Sadie, every time she's around her when we've been camping. Of course Keva was on a leash and Sadie was loose which could be part of it. Ironically when Sadie was in our yard they got along fine both loose together. I rarely go to dog parks, but when I do they've been fine (Nebo used to guard the water bowl sometimes I don't know if he does that any more - the last time they were at a dog park like setting was the thing at the pool and that's a little too much water to guard.). I really follow them around when they are with new dogs though, I can tell if they get that "look" that I need to distract them to avoid any issues.
I don't like to leave them alone together, I worry if they ever did get into a fight for whatever reason that I'd never be able to have them together again. I'll admit when I've been short on kennels (like when camping) I've put two dogs in one crate and left them alone which is probably a bad idea but they've always been fine. Right now Killer and Keva are laying by me and Killer is cleaning the inside of Keva's ears. He is obsessed with Keva, he especially loves humping heryes he's neutered but not until Corby got him at around two, he still loves to hump.
