Wanted... young Rottie female to rescue - Page 2

No way to talk her out of two females? I would be very leary of placing two females in the same household esp two adults. She might have a hard time convincing  a rescue as well. I know some rescues will not place a female when there is already one in the home. Just a thought.

I talked to the lady i train with that does Rottie rescue and she says they are willing to move dogs the different states to make sure they get good homes.
And I also agree on not having too many females in the same household. Rotties are not super tolerant of other dogs of the same sex. It's just asking for trouble. And a rottie bitch fight would be about as bad as breaking up a Am Bull bitch fight. (I have 13 years experience with dealing in angry bitches)
I'll get the link to the rescue, see if they can help.

One never knows, if the perfect rottie male shows up, maybe she will change her mind? Like I said she's always had girl packs and doesn't quite believe the general wisdom about keeping females together. Being spayed, maybe it helps? I don't really know.

Now, I would say that whatever dog joins this pack, will likely be the ALPHA. The Italian Greyhound is a wuss. Just likes to curl up in its blanket and avoid getting stepped on. The little girl Macy, is not a dominant dog at all and is just a year old, if that. I suppose if a rescue is looking for an excuse not to adopt, this would be it. And that would be unfortunate, true.
 
dragonfry.... thanks for your input... we posted about the same time!

Well i can say with some certainty that spaying doesn't reduce female dog aggression. Because all my bitches would fight. And i know people with several female goldens that will fight. They don't call them bitches for nothing. I'm still waiting for the rottie rescue lady to send me their link.
I personally will never keep several females in the house with me again. And i only want a max of two dog. Too much money and work to keep up more.

P.S.
My little sister has 7 dogs, mixed pack and her female min pins fight, and one ended up with a broken leg from a bitch fight. The smallest female broke the biggest female's back leg. Les had a Corso F, Boxer M, Pit/lab M, Chinese Crested M, Toy Fox Terrier F, Min pin 2F's Only the little girls fight, if the corso got into the fight's there'd be no little dogs left. :p

I agree fry same with mastiffs. Spayed dogs are almost worse than unspayed ones. The rotts Ive known were picky about their friends and at times wont tolerate males either.

I saw this guy shared on Facebook this morning and thought about this thread.... he is a boy, and is in Florida, but he sounds and looks like a good boy! Thought I'd pass it along.
