2 of my dachsies, mother & daughter, have fought on about 6 occasions , over the past 2 years. it is proper fighting & very hard to seperate them. last night , i opened the door to let them into the kitchen , & as they came in, for no apparent reason, they started to fight. there was blood splattering all over the kitchen, the 3 others were screaming & howling, i was yelling. i managed to get them apart eventually . i was thinking about it all night & day & i have decided to let one of them go & live with my daughter a couple of streets away. i can still see her every day, i love her so much, as i do all my poochies, but i cannot bear to go through this again. i cant stop crying as i write this , i hope im doing the right thing. she loves my daughter & 2 grandchildren, but i feel like im giving away a baby !!

Yes I think you are doing the right thing.I'm sure both dogs will be happier without the stress they are suffering now and you will still be able to see them both

Yes of course you ar edoing the right thing, but it feels bloody awful. Well done for doign it though!

Yes Caron I think you are doing the right thing, you have made a completely unselfish choice for the sake of both your girls, and as you say you know where she is going and will be loved and you can see her every day.
I do feel for you it is very sad.

My older dachsie bitch attacked the younger one and it really was a fight to the death if my husband hadn't managed to step in and separate them - both needed vet attention and cost us a few hundred pounds.  We don't have the facilities to separate them permanently and sadly we rehomed the older aggressive one - she was my favourite and I was absolutely devasted.  But so many people told me that it was the ONLY thing to do.  Certainly I would never have trusted them together again and in fact the younger one is a different and far happier dog.  Yes, you most definitely did the right thing.  It simply isn't fair to keep the dogs separately in the same home as a perament arrangement.  And at least you will be able to see her - I only got reports from my friend who rehomed Sasha that she was happy and well.  18 months on and I still miss her dreadfully.

the strange thing is,these 2 are the closest. they are always licking & cleaning each other, lying on top of each other, sleeping in til 11am & refusing to go out with the others until theyre ready ( typical stubbon dachsies !!) i dont even know who the aggresive one is, it happens so suddenly. i just rang my daughter & Mindy is fast asleep on the sofa , lapping up the attention !! not missing me much then !!

Yes, I think rehoming one of my two is going to be our eventual option when the OH comes round. Problem is which one - one is my show dog, the other is his hill walking dog. But we are going away with one dog and the puppy and have left the other dog with my friend who bred him, and the poor dog seems MUCH happier without worrying about the other one. It's going to be an awful decision! :-(
