I have a major problem or think I have. In brief details here's what I have.

Tippy--Small 10 pound chihuahua/Dachshund mix 3 or 4 years old. Just recieved her from the animal shelter for a house and watch dog. She's an excellent companion and watch dog.

Buelah--Blond lab / collie mix or maybe some grey hound. She's 7 years old.

Freckles--Part Red heeler / Border collie mix. She's 9 years old.

Here's my story. Buelah is my problem. Bueulah has always been the most dominant dog. She does ok with Freckles and I think she has fought with Freckles time to time over a dead bird or any animal and dog food too if I'm not sitting there with them.

When I let Tippy out in my fenced in back yard I have to be out there for her protection from Buelah. You would think a part lab would be good. WRONG !!!!! Not Buelah.

Freckles loves Tippy to death. They play together like they're long lost friends.

Ok here's where I need your help. I just moved to a new house and had my whole back yard fenced in. I want to be able to just let Tippy outside and not have to watch after her.

I am considering taking Beulah to the animal shelter and again I'm afraid to do that thinking I might regret it later.

I also considered setting up a small pen for Buelah and really don't want to have to do that. I want all of my dogs to run free in a fenced in back yard and have a good time.

What should I do ?
