1) Feed separately. NO high value food or treat items in the mixed pack. Period. 2) If it is a lot of talk and noise, I step back. If it is a true dogfight, I break it up. 3) Not every male dog can tolerate other males or new males or young males in his space--there are no male dog visitors allowed

Hi, When Doppo chased after the setter was he being aggressive or sexual? Was there any vocalisation on his part? Studly behaviour on the part of young males is usually a rush in and a jamming of his nose under her flanks or crotch to which a female will object in a few differing ways. A mature exp
