Just wanted you all to know, I took your advice, we walked around my friend's neighborhood and over to a park where we allowed the two dogs, my Shepard and the Border Collie off leash for a few minutes and they were fine. Then when we went back to my firends house, the two were playful and...

You make a great point, I will take your advice, I love my little Emma and I want her to be loved and cared for in the best home I can find, so I will do whatever it takes to find her a good situation and that includes giving her the chance to suceed. Walking, on leash together for a start, in...

Really good dog park article, I'm going to post it at my dog park, maybe it will help some people pay more attention. Thanks!

Introducing 2 dogs Thanks for your replies, I suggested this to my friend as a matter of face and they rejected this saying, this is the whole point, to see if they'll get along... so now I'll have to convince them that it will be better to do this gradually, not just shove them together...

Hi everyone, if you saw my 1st post about 2 dominate females, you'll understand this, my german shepard mix, spayed, between 1 1/2 and 2 years old cannot get along with my American Bull dog girl, 4 years old. I may have a home for the shepard if all goes well, with friends and close enough I...

Julie, just wanted to say that I empathize with you and your difficulty at the dog park. I am a regular at my neighborhood dog park and I enjoy my time there and so does my dog. Our dog park has a very consistant and regular population however and I believe that is one of the reasons for it's...

Keeping the girls apart This is just what I fear most, during the fight, I really had the strong feeling that they were fighting to kill and it was frenzied to be sure. It's nothing short of a miracle that I was able to get them apart and not get too badly hurt myself, just incidental scrapes...

Thank you all for your input, I appreciate it very much. Yes, both of my dogs are very strong and could cause major damage to each other, or me ( not on purpose) Lily has delicate skin and she really got torn up in that fight. Emma got one wound on her leg, minor scratches, but it could have...

Thanks Thank you so much for answering. Yes, both dogs are spayed and I realize now that an opposite sex dog would have been better.... unfortunately my daughter and I both fell in love with this female, Emma. I had never had two dogs together before, only one at a time, so I didn't think it...

I posted this under new members and was advised to post it here, can't get the photo to attach here. I am new to this site, just hoping for any help I can find on this matter. I live alone with these two dogs and love them both. Hello everyone! I have two "girls" that I absolutely...

Hello everyone! I have two "girls" that I absolutely adore. Hope the photo comes through. Lily is the American Bull dog, blue eyed, deaf, sweet and almost 4 years old. I've had her since she was about 6 months old, rescued from side of freeway, very tramatized, hurt bady, starving, extremely...
