It is normal for one dog to be dominate over another as long as he isn't attacking her outright. You should use the NILIF training to be Alpha over both and support the alpha male by feeding, petting and treating him first. Fights start when the owner tries to give the underdog attention etc

If you breed 2 dogs of unknown pedigrees you can get anything. There is no way to know if a dashchund was a grandparent. Dogs can appear to be purebred and not be. A litter of pups whose dam is a lab and sire was a german shepherd is not half lab half shepherd. Some are 90% shepherd and 10%
