Blizzard Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 There's a gorgeous 15 week old pup in a rescue near me, but having a male already people have told me they would fight? Is this true? Even if both neutered? Thanks in advance x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 No, I have 3 males all neutered and don't have any issues. It has to do more with the individual dog and not the sex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny_Caity Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 Definitely to do with the individual, rather than the sex, Damian and Asha fight all the time and they're brother and sister, but he's fine with males and he's un-neutered. If they're together as pups, or at least one of them being a pup, it USUALLY eliminates the problems with dominance. I'd say go for it! - Caity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*jax* Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 From what I've read it depends on the dog. Two of Elka's brothers are in one home and nine months now. The have apparently started to fight and one is showing more dominance than the other. This i think will resolve itself because the other is submissive. Both are un-neutered though.

Emma Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 Ditto to the above. That's why initial introductions before bringing home a new dog is so important, not all are going to get along. Typically you won't want more than one dominant/bossy dog regardless of sex, without expecting a few teething troubles along the way. The norm is usually one bossier dog and the others more laid back.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BingBlaze n Skyla Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 I have 2 males n they are best mates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elyse Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 I agree - it depends on the dog. That being said, because my boy is dominant, I have to be careful with him around any other boys we encounter. Sometimes he's not friendly with them. The ladies though - he's ALWAYS friendly with them. Figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blizzard Posted September 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 I know, that's the problem lol he's so tiny, so much smaller than blizzard was at 15 weeks! I've been to visit the rescue and am back tomorrow when it opens I might take him out for walkies x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 Depends on the dogs. We have 3 who are all intact and very rarely have any issues. Even when we do it tends to be around food with Koda who has been food aggresive since we rescued him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storm Angel n Auroras Mum Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 again depends on the dog. i have two bitches who occasionally have little scraps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahp87 Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 Mine are both males, ages 3 and 2 and haven't been neutered yet. They play fight of course but neither one has ever shown their teeth to the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydiamond Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 good luck looks like a gorgeous baby boy Diamond, and 90% of dogs in my area, is intact. All of them play just fine. I think it's more about individual personality than mere gender. Troy, Diamond's best pal, is very grumpy with Diamond's husky friend Mike. Mike dislikes Troy too but both dogs adore Diamond. All three are intact and has reached maturity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
