I have prepared a bottle and we are going to try to re-introduce them again, this weekend. Having had "usually, way too many dogs" due to an insane desire to show for several years,"....we are now down to 2 and we purchased a new home and spent thousands of $$ in fencing just for them! It was a dream come true, 1 dog, 1 bitch, ~no babygates to climb over because of having 2 stud dogs and of course that puppy one just had to keep out of a litter cause he was so great, And then of course the puppy you co-owned would come back due to a divorce, yada, yada, yada!~ Finally, we have a beautiful new huge home with just 2 danes having the run of it 'all' the time, instead of rotating dogs, if you've shown, you know the scenario! And then the dog fight, I was just shattered. I have had them separated since. I am planning on having them on leashes with two responsible people, and then I will have a third with the spray bottle with your recipe. Wish me luck! The only strange thing that is happening, is that each time I let one in from the pen, they immediately run to the 'room' where it happened as if to still find the booey bad dog there. They are side by side in the dog run and they do not fence fight (which leads me to believe that there is a chance of a reconciliation). Question..If they leave the pen next to the dog that they fought with, and then in the house run to the room expecting to 'find' the dog they fought with, does this mean they do not comprehend just 'who' they fought with?? I am beginning to think that one of my dogs is just one french fry short of a happy meal!! Just the fact that a dog and bitch had fight makes me convinced of it. I hope I don't need a doggie psychiatrist. Rhiannon
