Not sure where to post this so apologies if this is in the wrong place.

We have 3 yorkies (1 girl and 2 boys). The one boy is the baby (almost 2 years old now) of the girl and other boy.

The 2 boys fight almost daily and it's getting more and more viscous (to the point where my wife found the youngest boy almost knocked out today).

We acknowledge that we have no idea how to handle this situation but we have cages that keep the two boys separate when needed but neither dogs seem to calm down until they've been able to walk by each other with heads held high after a fight.

I have phoned the vets and booked them in for a pre-castration check up but how likely is it that this will calm them down enough to stop them fighting?

We're really worrying about it now and would hate to have to rehome one of the boys but it is so stressful worrying about when the next fight is going to be.

Any advice would be much appreciated.
