Can someone explain? Male vs. Female?

Just doing reading on dominance, urinating, etc. What I got out of it is that have a male/female relationship. But ensure the female is smaller than the male. Just what I read, passing it along.

From my experience: I had a 4 year old female mixed breed, introduced another 1 year old female, smaller in size. They bonded and got along great.

When Shadow was alive Mini would always fight with her. Female/female fights ARE the worst. And every fight had some sort of injury (usually on poor Shadow!)

Then we've had male/male fights with Micki and Jack, but they're never serious and if we clap our hands or yell "Hey!" they stop.

Come to think of it, I've never had a male/female fight at the house and right now we have 2 females and 2 males.

This is interesting to read.. Just in general.. but also because when Zeke and Eli got into it, it was pretty bad. Zeke always started it. They'd be in the living room or on the back patio and bam! Eli has little scars all over from it. Just little tooth marks, that wont grow hair back, except for two on his face, which grew white hairs instead of brown/black. Zeke drew blood every time he went after Eli. Of course, after a while it stopped and they co-existed, but it wasn't fun in the beginning.

That is the way it was with Molly and Lacy,It all happend so fast,One minute they were both resting the second i was pulling them appart.It looked like a crime scene there very last fight,There was blood all over the walls,kitchen cabinets,But Lacy took Molly's big jowles to her advatage i think.Lacy ended up with stiches in her ears,face and chest.Now since then there has been a few grumbles between the two but nothing has ever come of it.We were looking at resuing other Newfs...and were told to not have 2 of the same sex.I dont know but from my expierience i can see that females will fight,And all my guys are fixed,and it has not changed anything.But with Maggy i guess she is a one in a million she could not be botherd...she will just go lay in her corner and go to sleep.The one fight they were trampling all over Maggy and she just waited for them to get out of her way,then she moved...
