Question
I was wondering if getting my male bulldogs nuetered would stop them from fighting? The problem that we are having is we bought a second bulldog for our first one to have a companion and when we first got them together they were great buddies then after about a couple of weeks our first bulldog started attacking the second bulldog it has gotten so bad we are trying to sell our second bulldog but when they are outside together as long as no humans are out there they get along great they don't fight but if we go out to hang out with them then they fight and I mean it is a bad fight they both have scars from fighting and they draw blood almost everytime we love them both but don't know how to stop them from fighting please help us!!

Answer
Sorry about this:  Your males are doing what two males will do to each other.  Many times two males don't get along all that well.  They both want to be the dominant doggie.  One of them wants to be the Alpha Male ( top dog) and the other will get "put in his place"...

*** sorry, it is very normal and will not stop.  You can try to get a trainer to work with the two dogs.  They can learn who is the boss and who will be the follower.  It may never work for you.

Making sure they are both neutered will help a bunch.

So sorry I can't be of more help!
