Hi there, I have a bit of a situation I would like some advice on. We currently own two dogs. A two year old neutered male french bulldog whom we've had since a puppy and an 8 month old 120 pound Boerboel Mastiff. A few times now, they have gotten in vicious fights. A few cuts here and there but thankfully nothing major. The majority of the time it is over food and once there playing got a bit rough and turned into a fight. We also have a two year old son. I work at a vet office in Edmonton and have spoke about my problems with the vets and techs here and they have pretty much distilled fear my in mind saying that either my son or our frenchie could be killed by our mastiff. What are my options? We are moving into a new house in a few weeks where the mastiff will have his own area in the yard and sleep in a heated garage. Our frenchie rarely goes outside, only to do his business. As of right now, they do cohabitate but we never leave them together while we are not there to supervise. Our mastiff has never shown any aggression otherwise. Only when the frenchie initiates it. Should we just stop trying and look at re homing our big boy? I know in the back of my mind I will always have the fear of something happening. Is there a way to work around this? I am so lost and anxious about the whole situation and loose sleep every night.
