I will only say when you have a breeding kennel, with intact females and intact males, you have attitude issues you have to deal with. I have males and females that if put together, would fight to the death.... If you are going to be breeding, you are going to have to accept this behavior and adjust your kennel arrangements to keep everyone safe....that could very easily mean rotating play times, not mixing particular dogs together, etc. Punishing the females for behavior that is completely normal for them, is a waste of time and not fair to the dogs. You want to breed? You are going to have to determine the "rank" of your females and keep the fighters separate....they WILL kill another dog that is smaller, weaker, unable to protect herself....and when the Alpha female jumps another female, it would not be unusual for the rest of the girls to "pile on" and join the massacre.....

Hopefully that aggressive attitude is not a genetic disposition that will be passed on with her breeding...have you researched her past and her pedigree?
