Excuse me, but I am not procrastinating. Our vets are very good with cows and horses, not dogs, and not little dogs. It's not a matter of money or procrastination, I love my dogs very much and they are very well cared for. One who procrastinates, replaces high-priority acts with those of low priority, and this is not the case.

Neutering is very cheap and any vet can do it. Quite procrastinating. Sooner or later one dog will kill or injure the other badly enough to cost you lots more than neutering would have.

We live in a very rural area in western Canada. The problem is, I don't know which one to punish. Bruiser is very dominating and I can understand why Monster just gets sick of it. They start growling at each other when there is any excitement around them, I intervene at that point, if I don't within a few seconds they are on each other. I don't think much happens when I'm not around, because they don't excited.

If not, they seriously need to be. If it is not hormonal, but domination, then I will share a shortened version of my story when I met my husband. He had a very psycho Jack russell who did not play well with others and I had my two Chihuahus. All three were males..but his is a large 23 pounds and mine 3 and 6 pounds. no contest. His Jack would just attack for no reason and I could never leave them alone together fearing injury to mine. He had never neutered Jack whi ch was adding to the problem so we had him neutered. That helped some..but basically what I had to make Jack understand was I was alpha in the pecking order. If he attacked the Chis, it had consequences..Not only was Mommy seriously unhappy but he was chastized and separated in another part of the house. He is not fed first, given treats first, or treated as Alpha in the pecking order. If any of the three starts trouble, they are equally chastized. I still don't trust Jack enough to leave them together when I leave the house..my Chis are in the bedroom, but under my watchful eye, he behaves..

I have two chis, both girls, I have Bruiser and the "other" Monster. We rescued them both off the road near our house about three years ago. They were dumped in March in very bad weather in an area heavy with coyotes, (an unfortunate but common practice here). Anyway, Monster was a juvenile at the time, Bruiser, a young adult. Bruiser was the Alpha of the two, well as time goes by, Monster is now bigger and struggling to take over the Alpha spot. Poor Bruiser doesn't want to give it up, and as a result has lost two front teeth and has an assortment of other minor cuts and abrasions. I have tried EVERYTHING I know to stop them from fighting. PLEASE! If anyone can suggest anything I would appreciate it! Thanks, Pam No virus found in this message.
