I am having serious probs at the moment with my rotts,, i mention a while back in one of my posts that my 2 girls didnt get along,, well we figured out that this only occurs when one or both are in season,, they get on brilliantly any other time,, until recently ..my 9 month old male has started to cause fights between them and i mean really nasty fights ,, he will deliberately wind one of them up until they snap at him and then the other will jump into to defend him resulting in a full scale dog fight ( he then runs a mile by the way!)  to the point where one of my girls has needed vet treatment 3 times in the 2 weeks :(
Im now getting really scared that either one of my girls is going to get seriously injured or the pup himself will .. we have tried everything to keep them seperated which only results in a barrage of whining and barking.. If you take the pup out of the equation the other 3 get along harmoniously and there is no trouble at all .. my OH has said that the only real option we have is to rehome the pup :( i dont want to do this except as a last resort but we are fast getting to the point where we are at a loss for what to do for all dogs safety, i am at my wits end :(
Is rehoming him my only real option or can anyone suggest anything else that may help ??

Hi
Is this the same male you have for sale on epupz?

yes my OH made me put him up there for now but I am hoping maybe to turn things around :( I love him too bits and really dont want to part with him,, but OH says unless things change drastically he goes for his own and the other dogs safety .. :(

Have you contacted his breeder, who, if reputable, will be only too willing to help.

Cazzie1978  is the breeder i think......If i remeber rightly.

I am his breeder this is why it is such a difficult decision to make and why i am so reluctant to part with him ,, i hand reared this pup as he was the smallest and weakest of the litter hence the reason we kept him :(  our behaviourist told us that the fact he hand reared is half his problem how much truth there is to this i dont know he also advised that he needs a home where there are no other dogs :(,, i have never had this problem with any of my dogs before and i am heartbroken at the way things are turning out :(
non of his litter mates are the way he is infact they are all extemely well behaved sociable dogs. it really upsets me and makes me feel like a failure as my other 3 dogs are extremely well behaved and i feel that the pups behaviour is unfair on them aswell as us :(
Im at the point where for all i dont want to i have to agree with my OH and do what is best for him and my other 3 :(

Sorry, I didn't know you were his breeder - that must make it even more difficult for you. :( Can the stud owner help?
- By Cazzie1978 [gb] Date 06.09.05 20:24 UTC
nope coz i own him too :( so you can see why my situation is so hard .. i really dont want to part with the little fella but as i was advised in the first place keeping a pup with both his parents could cause problems but i never imagined it could be this bad :( especially as it is both his parents he is no longer getting along with :( .. as i say im more worried for his safety and also that of the others .. one of my girls had her ear ripped in half and had to be stitched the other week through a fight he caused and its almost impossible to keep him away from them with out them all howling the house down :(

I know slightly how you feel as my puppy has caused my 2 boys to start fighting - again, I was warned this would happen but did not realise it would mean them living separately. It really sounds like you have only 2 options - keeping them separate forever, or rehoming the puppy. Lots of sympathy. :-(
