Ha, I tried all 5 together and the two got into it on the walk and I had such a tangled mess, it took m e a half hour to untangle them all, trying to keep them all on leash and the two separated, it was a nightmare.
They respect me as pack leader, but both trying to have the breeding rights of the pack. In a dog pack, only the alpha female breeds, so each of them are trying to be the breeding female.
I think the big problem is, Chachi is in love with Ollie, and he flirts with and courts her. He does his job with Harlie, but wants to be with Ollie, so while Harlie is sticking it in his face he is off trying to court Ollie.
It's like desparate housewives. A real love triangle.
So I have resorted to keeping them separated at least till the heats are over.
The last fight, I could not get them to let go of each other, so I put them in the kitchen sink and turned on the cold water. That did the trick. Since then I have kept them separated.
