Even if you are home with them, I'd use soft muzzles when they are together at any time, even on leash.

Aren't females great!? I always hear people say they don't want two males, and I'm always confused by it. Females are the fighters. Heck, my female rats would kill each other if they ever got in a big scuffle. My males; rarely the tiniest puncture in a male scuffle. Females of all species are much worse together.

I don't have any advise, just wanted to say that I think it is great that you are working with both the girls on the problem, so many people would re-home a dog rather then tackle the problem.

Good luck.

I would never do that,There both here to stay i adore and love them both,This is not easy by anymeans,Im sure this is going to be a up and down process,I dont ever want to go through that again,Poor Lacy is really banged up.

She was weighed,And she is 54 pounds i find since she has been spayed she is really puttin on the pounds.

I'm sorry to hear this. I hope both Maggy and Lacy will be feeling better soon. Are you still going to get the other newfie?

To be honest,I Dont know i'm a little scared.Im not ready for that now,I dont want thousands of dollars of vet bills!She is a female also,We were offered to take a male if we wanted.The pup is just over 2 weeks,Even though we put a down payment,I know if we decide against it the pup will find a loving home.

KrazyaboutKats---- you don't have to give up on owning two females or two males together in the same house. I've had males together and females together without a problem...right now I have 3 females and one male and still have no problem. It all depends on how you treat the dogs and how you train them from the very beginning. It's something that you have to be very vigilant about and notice every little change in body language, and there will be telltale signs long before a fight breaks out, this is the time to make detours so that the fight never materializes. One of my females isn't spayed and it still causes no problem. Don't rely on spaying or neutering to avoid confrontations, it doesn't work that way. Some people have their males altered to make them less agressive and that doesn't work either as they soon find out. If you would like both female and male go for it, just do the homework beforehand.
