Default fighting dogs

Hi,
I have two strays we took in. One literally attacks the other. I don't
want to get rid of either. Actually, I have three, but the third is no
problem. Oddly he was first in the house and has no problems sharing with
either. He likes other animals. Hates people but that is another story. The
second dog is the problem. The third does not attack her. He avoids her. I
have tried introducing them as I have with dogs in the past. I have never
had trouble before. I have had dogs all my life. I have never had an animal
that just could not be controlled around other animals before. She literally
came past me to attack the other dog and when I pulled her off lifted him
by the scruff of the neck. I had to strike her to get her to let go, or
perhaps pry her jaws. It is a bit of a blur. I have never had this sort of
problem before. Even with the dog that does not like people, if I keep him
beside me for a half hour or so while I talk with the person he will accept
them. He will not leave my control to attack them. He will attack if I just
let him run and don't properly introduce him to new people. I have tried the
same type tactics with the dogs and it is not working. Perhaps I held the
wrong dog. I help the passive dog, but I have never had one of my dogs come
past me to get another. Also, this is the first aggressive female I have
ever had.

Help

Brett Stiefel
