| Are they going to be used for breeding is that why they are not spayed. It is common for unspayed female to fight and I dont think anyone can give you advice on how to stop it. Its just in their nature. You will always have to keep them separated

| Yes, i was hoping to breed them. I never thought they could be so aggresive, ive got a dog behavourist coming on the 10th march and also taking them for dog training lessons, hope this helps. |

| Sorry you're having such a rough time but I'm not surprised, with two un-spayed females. My sister had two un-spayed females, a Jack Russell Terrier and a French Bulldog and they would have the most horrific fights, drawing blood and causing seriuos injury. She finally had to re-home the French Bulldog. Not sure if spaying two females after they've already developed such an agressive relationship would make much of a difference.

| Theyve only recently started fighting, you can understand how im feeling. Im keeping them in seperate cages at the moment, but it seems so unfair. Ive got a dog behavourist to come and see me just hope this can help. |

| Must you breed? Would you consider spaying them?

| There is a reason they are called "bitches"...I have had unspayed females who loved everyone and never fought...and others who would fight to the death...but I had two large inhouse dog areas at opposite sides of the house with play yards...before I had that arrangement, I had to rehome a couple of the worst fighters... |

| I would definitely do it, not just to avert the aggression, but for health and other reasons as well.

| They may stop fighting if you get them spayed now they may not. It may be more of a way they do things and ingrained in them now. I do think it calms them down though
