Can Two Intact GSD Males Ever Live Togrther??? - Page 2

Best to keep them seperate.

Depends...How good is your health insurance?

I have 3 intact males together (one is 6, one is 3 and one is 2). They all get along etc. However I am also careful! When my females are in heat they are kept away from my males. I don't play hard 'ball' games with all 3 of them together as they are all ball crazy.

Well we do have a different situation here I guess, Females*** Cesna 5yrs. Nusha 3yrs. Pistol 2yrs. Shadow 1yr. Nicha 1yr. Jaden 7mos. Trace 7mos. Daga 4 mos. Dani 4mos. Males*** Sitka 3yrs. Twister 2yrs. Echo 2yrs. (a showline pet my daughters) Dago 4mos. Only dogs that are seperated are females in season while in season. And the Males are all seperated now, though Twister and Echo used to run with all the females that were not in season. So like right now I have only one female locked up and the Males locked up. All others are loose on about 2 acres and NEVER one Single Fight. well of course when a bitch whelps she and pups are seperated until after weaning. I like having them all run together like this, social behavior with other dogs is excellent. They all come in the house and it's wild for about 5 minutes but then all calms down and it's all good, I look around a floor 'LITTERED WITH GERMAN SHEPHERDS PASSED OUT" LOL.

If you have an alfa female and one male is their offspring. I have had an alpha female that totally rules the roost and even the senior Sch male will gladly yield to her as long as his has his bone or ball. In many cases a younger male that is their offspring or brought in as a puppy will yield to the older male out of respect and nver would challenge the alpha female.

My expereince you have a chance with males getting along. Usually one becomes the dominent one but it does depend on the dogs. My females never got along for long and would re-fight it every day. Saying that I had a showline female and at the kennel the breeder would let about 10 females and 2 males out at the same time and they never had a fight while I was watching. My working line female will tolerate males until I go out and she gets jealous and gets aggressive with them.

We have Kris, a 6 yr old easy-going W German showline stud, and also Tas, who's a 9 yr old Czech workingline male, and a real wire at that, too. We kept them both in the house at first, cautiously, never turning our backs, of course, loose with the other two Gsd gals we have. Things went somewhat ok for about two weeks, with Tas, the Czech stud, growling a little under his breath, as if to say he was putting up with the crap, and Kris totally ignoring him as if he wasn't in the room at all. Well, the day one of the gals started to go into heat all hell broke loose. Tas rushed into the house this one day and full-on tackled Kris in a loud dog fight. Scared the bejeezuz out of me! We had to pull them apart, and then rotate them in-n-out of the house after that. Kinda sucked, good that noone was hurt, but all the same. Then, we found out we couldn't leave Tas alone in the house becuz he had a tendency to mark things, much like a tomcat would. I would go outside to do something as small as clean the car and come in to find the couch pissed on on all four sides. And if had the chance he would pee on the other two females' cages as well. It was almost comical for a while here. Like "Let's see what Tas Doesn't pee on today!" Awwell, all in a good day's work with GSD's! So, I guess the moral of the story is, two intact males can be kept together, but Do Not leave them unsupervised! nicole

The best answer for this would be " It Depends". There is no straight forward answer as to if 2 intact males can get along. A male and a female will almost always get along, every other combination depends on the dogs, circumstances ect. At my house we play doggie rotation. We have 6 acres for them to run on and they go out in groups. Have 3 females that can go out together, have 2 others that can go together with one out of the original group. Have a male that can go with all of them and usually puppies can go out with either group after weaning as long as the mother is not in the group. Have one old female who can go out with no one. So moral of the story is " It Depends". If you buy another dog, just make sure you have the room and the ability to keep them seperated, not to mention the time, if it does not workout and they do not get along.

down_the_road_i_go you are a fool for having a 9 year old stud male in the same home as 3 other dogs . Tas only lived his life in a one dog home . Tas is back with me Timothy Helser , She gave him no vet care afther this dog fight and he did need it . Also as far as him peeing all over the palce this is not this dog . This dog has been raised him the home for 9 years and had only one time he went poty in the home and that was the day I bought him, He had a UTI at nicoles and could not help but to pee all over the place , all she had to do was take the dog to the vet to get this to stop . I have had him back now for 3 days and he is living in my home and he had not done anything like that here !

Right now I have 3 Slovakian lined and 1 Slovakian/German lined intact males and 6 intact females living at my house. All are mature. Sarge. Axel, and Apollo will get along with each other as long as no females are in season. However, Fels just at puberty, wants to fight the older ones. But I do muzzle males anytime they are together. Frabo leather muzzles from leerburg can be real lifesavers.
