Can a male english mastiff, a male boxer and a male doberman pinscher live in the same house?

Answer 1

I dont think i would be comfortable with the size difference with the mastiff... A boxer and doberman would be able to work out a pecking order without too much damage, but add a mastiff to the mix and the size will unbalance it. Some dogs arent meant to be alpha.... period. But being bigger may give him the edge even if it doesnt fit him. I would be careful and start off slowly. It can be done, my best friend has two unneutered male pittbulls that live together and have NEVER had a problem but she and her husband take the UTMOST precaution regarding their dogs and their dogs behavior.... Just use common sense and you should be ok.

Answer 2

It depends how you train them and if they are Nutered or not. If they are all nutered, then they might get a long. But those kinds of breeds (especially the mastiff) can somtimes get very terrirorial with other males. Also, are you sure you have enough room in your house for three large dogs? IT is a big commitment, but with the right training, they will learn to accept eachother.

Answer 3

Probably. Hopefully they are all neutered.

Otherwise you should be prepared for them to establish their own "pecking order", which will take a series of exchanged bites and nips.

The dogs' birth order will help determine which dog will be the alpha in your absence, and hopefully you have the ability to establish yourself as the master... the alpha of the household.

In the meantime, I would store any breakables way up high where a big dog slamming into furniture will not possibly bring them down.

Answer 4

All depends on you, you have to train them....they will eventually have a pack mentality, there will be a leader. Just be sure they all have been trained properly.

Answer 5

Depends . As long as there not aggressive towards each other they wont have any problems ...
