well it thought i would post an update.........

the dogs are no longer fighting. the guy my vet recommended came over
& basically told me i had to get control of them. in the past at home
we pretty much let them run loose in the yard & in the house. they
had some rules but nothing major (house trained, not allowed on
furniture or people, things like that). that's changed. i did have to
muzzle them initially but that only lasted 2 or 3 days. they are fine
now.

some where in one of the posts the comment was why would i breed karma
if she was agressive......she isn't as a general rule. you can do
anything to her you want & she never snapped or reacted. there was
just a problem that is now worked out. zoe is not agressive either
but she is much less patient & would walk away when she had enough of
whatever it was.

so anyway thanks for the suggestions & opinions. all is well now.
they stay in the house with me like i like & we have nice
conversations ^_^ & its all good.

I didn't read your original message but please don't fool yourself. Just
because the dogs aren't fighting now doesn't mean you should ever trust
them together again without strict supervision.

I've actually seen this quite a bit in dogs. Two dogs who don't get
along. They'll fight, then they may go days, weeks or even months when
it seems like they'll be fine. Then all heck will break loose again. I
have a good friend who had this happen with her dogs. The younger would
randomly attack the older, totally out of the blue. As the older dog
began to get decrepit the attacks escalated in timing and viciousness,
but during the entire time, there would be periods where the dogs seemed
to get along just fine. Then bam. Something would trigger and it would
be very bad, very fast.
