However, even with our fair guidance, she started having issues with our other female, Meadow recently. But Leah is getting up there now and generally not tolerant of much at all anymore, including our cats, (sadly), so at this point it is more management than anything else, which is as hard as you describe.<br /><br />I do believe that the male female combo seems to be the safest, and it is probably the best way to avoid issues between dogs in the firs place. I also believe breeds and personalities come into play. Personally, I think that Labs and Vizslas are more amicable with other dogs(even within the same sex) than some other breeds.Donna and the Dogshttp://www.donnaandthedogsblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1219306108416794316.post-90329549608615286862012-04-16T23:50:35.566-07:002012-04-16T23:50:35.566-07:00I think conflict arises if there is no clear leade...I think conflict arises if there is no clear leader or if there is inequality in there somewhere.

That's my perspective on it anyway.prinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03208208987226715826noreply@blogger.com
