winnie 1 Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Leave them to sort it untill one wins or thrash the living bollocks off them. Quote Link to post
Keeps 403 Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Leave them to sort it untill one wins or thrash the living bollocks off them. Thats the worst possible advice you could give. One day you'll end up with a dead dog. They need to be kept separate, cos if they hate each other its never going to change, and leaving them to sort it out themselves will only make things worse and won't have a happy ending Quote Link to post

panda 0 Posted May 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Keepin them seperate aint an option they both live inside,i never leave them to sort it out always seperate them straight away. cheers for replys so far Quote Link to post
Guest busterdog Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 I'm afraid that winnie's right, let them sort it out, it sounds worse than it is. My bitches are worse than my dogs, the secret to stopping the fighting is to have one eye on them at all times, and to stop it before it starts. It's just that time of year when everything is feeling fit and theres no work to be had, go for long walks or get a big stick!!!! Quote Link to post

Big bald beautiful 1,231 Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 so when two bitches fight you leave them to it? wonder why i had a dead dog at the end of it! kennel fights aint good, i lost an 18 mth old bitch due to a yard fight Quote Link to post
dev 227 Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 seperation is the only cure imo when they fall out terriers are c*nts, have you no space in the back garden for a kennell and a bit of a run? Quote Link to post

surrey lass 12 Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 in my experience, i found bitches hold grudges, dogs have fights to sort out the pecking order, but bitches go in, to maime or sometimes kill, i think you should some how seperate them if posible make two kennels up outside, or try and keep them seperate indoors, as others have said how much exercise do they get, how old are they, Quote Link to post

Guest busterdog Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 If you take the time to read my reply you will see i said to stop it before it happens, in no way do i condone leaving two dogs or bitches to fight till they die!! I have two bitches in my yard that will be like a barrel of monkeys one minute, and the next they will be screwing each other. The only way i can keep on top of them is to be the Alfa male, its all about kennel management you have to be the boss and you have to know your dogs, as i have said if they get plenty of work theres no problem. Try and give them a few seconds....minutes to sort it out, or they will never find out who is the dominant bitch, if that fails then you will have to re home one or the other. Try and reduce the amount of protein in there food, this sometimes helps in the summer months. Quote Link to post
deadlock 0 Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 You ever watched the dog whisperer he seems to pin them both buy their necks close to each other until they carm down (you need help ) iv tried it a few times with mixed results as highly bred digging dogs can be c**ts even dog v bitches , I would still never kennel them together alone but you normally only lose terriers IE dead if one is much bigger or their is more than to terriers in the kennel , Quote Link to post
