My other two males are very dominant and I have to keep them separate from the others. I have females too that are the same way. I know other Yorkie owners that go through the same thing. For the safety of Teddy you should find a way to just keep them separated. Yorkies can kill each other, I have heard horror stories about it happening. I know it is heart breaking for you because you want all your babies to be one happy family but sometimes that is just not possible. Your only other choice might be to call a professional dog trainer and ask for advise. From my experience, once the fighting starts it just gets worse. It seems to me that Galahad needs a little cooling off time to him self so the others can get some rest. Do you have a separate room or exercise pen he can stay in? Males can be a real pain. I have a female in heat right now and all the males are going nuts. That is just one of the down sides of breeding dogs. I wish you luck and I wish I had more encouraging information.
It is getting scarey now, for I just put Galahad in a large crate alone for getting on Teddy again!! And all the others are out with him being in the crate, our 2 youngest babies as I call them and they was tryin to play with him through the crate and he's growling and showing his teeth at them. Also he's rubbing that crate like crazy and it's messing his coat all up, I guess I'm gonna have to make bumper pads for him lol. I guess this family togetherness isn't going to be what I thought peacefully! LOL! I will keep him up so he don't hurt any of our Yorkies!!! I sure don't want that I've never lost a Yorkies ever due to anything I sure don't want to start now! Thanks so much for U're advise.
