Hello All, I have a problem with two of our dogs. I have an alaskan malamute (female) and a female australian shepherd. The alaskan malamute has the sweetest disposition, she loves our two bulldogs and our male australian shepherd and never fights with or shows aggression towards them or people. Our australian shepherd loves her family very much, but she is extremely high strung and nervous. She can be aggressive with any of our dogs, most of them usually will quarrel with her for a minute or leave her alone and its no problem. Yet we can't ever keep the alaskan malamute and the australian shepherd female in reach of each other. They always fight. It appears to be extremely aggressive and like a fight to the death. My malamute is so sweet, but she does not like getting snapped at by annie (that's what led to this problem). I fear for their lives', and want to have a healthy and balanced household. Is this a fixable problem, or just a conflict between two breeds and females? I am only a college student, and am not experienced with dog behavior or breeds and I am trying to help my mom with this. Thank you!
