I have a Staffy x bitch 4yrs & a Ebt bitch 1 yr who initialy got on fine, but have now decided they cant stand the sight of each other when in the house.
They will go for walks together without a problem & mix in the garden.
But the house is a battleground,both get on fine with our other 3 mongrels (1dog 2 bitches) will I have to always keep these two apart when in the house?

Quite a few people own staffies and bull breeds on this board, and i expect they would suggest you rehome one of the dogs. Bitches fighting can be bad enough anyway, but it could get really bad with these breeds :(
However, what i would suggest is that you look at what may be causing the behaviour, as if they get on normally, and in the garden, they may be sparring over owner attention etc and that can sometimes be sorted out but with help from a reputable behaviourist. I think you need help to decide what to do and if there is any hope in keeping them together....
YOur vet could refer you if necessary.
