Question
I have two male English Bulldogs...One white and one red. They have been around each other since birth and are both now about 5 1/2 and 6 months old. The white male started attacking the red male and yesterday got to the point of seriously injuring him. He is extremely territorial and I don't know what to do beside getting rid of him. I really love them both but the white one really hurt the red one this time he can hardly walk. When My kids ride there scooters past him it's like he can't help but to try to bite them. What should I do??

Answer
Katelyn,

I strongly suggest that you have your bulldogs neutered.  If you don't they will probably continue to fight.  Bulldogs can be very dangerous if they learn to fight.

Then you need to be consistent in not letting this behavior get by.  Every time they fight, they need to be reprimanded.  They are young enough that you should be able to break them of this behavior, but you are going to be diligent in it.
