Aggressive Females

[amyandhoward]

We started out with our first boxer 7 years ago, Jax,and she's a great dog! Well, then we decided to get Oscar about a year and a half ago and he was so beautiful with a great disposition we decided to get a female to breed him with...Along came Chloe...$ 3,000 later we find out that she has mange can't breed her and to get her fixed asap!!! Not that 3 boxers weren't enough, about 2 months ago we got our LAST boxer,Gin.Things went great for the first week or so then the wars began. The vet says that I need to let the girls go at it until the pack order gets back in line but they're tearing eachother apart. I'm going crazy and any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Don't let them tear each other apart. That doesn't make sense. There is lots of info on this site about female/female relationships and a common theme is that females hold grudges once things get out of hand. Try searching through the behavior forum. There is good information. Is it possible to keep them separated until you get the situation under control? It seems that might be what is required for their safety. Dog fights are not nice, as I'm sure you've started witnessing. Good luck, I hope you get it sorted out.
