We have three Olde English Bulldogges. The oldest is a male, and we have two females that we breed with him. Well, we have only bred the oldest female with him so far. Anyway, he was a great, perfect dog before he got some, lol. But now, he thinks he is Mr. stud-muffin, and for the last year (since they were first bred) he is hiking his leg all over the place, and getting aggressive with me when I puish him for it (put him in his cage). He hasn't bitten me, but I think he may. I don't know how to get this behavior to stop, and whenever I ask my vet (or anyone else) they always just tell me either to neuter him, keep him outside, or live with it!! What kind of answers are those?? All three of our dogs are members of our family - We love them very much and do not want to banish him outdoors! I'm also not going to neuter a dog that was originally bought for the puurpose of breeding! What to do? I love my baby and don't want to have to give him away or something :(

Just to answer Fae's question - No, the youngest female is not one of our pups. We used the money from the sell of one of our pups to buy her from a completely different line. But thanks for being concerned about that :)

Sorry, but I also wanted to add that he is not at all aggressive with anyone else, and only aggressive with me when he gets busted for peeing on something - like I'm testing his manhood or somthing, lol.

I wish I knew what to tell you. Sounds like a typical male
Maybe ask your vet but don't give up on him.

You could try a good trainer or behaviorist, but I suspect you'll end up either having to neuter the dog or put him down for biting someone.
Sorry not to be more help, but I think that with an intact, aggressive dog, your options are pretty limited...

English Bulldogs are extremley expensive dogs so---you should not mind investing in a "Dog Expert" and let them try to instruct you in the systematic way to train him and also to explain that when the female comes in heat--males will increase "marking" behavior. You mention 3 dogs and that you have only bred the "older" female to him--- this tells me (mistakenly or not-) that the other female is his pup, so---do not breed him to her. Take her to a stud from a different line of English Bulldogs, to a male that will offset any faults she may have or perhaps compliment the beauty she already has. Good luck!

I had a male Jack Russell that did the same exact thing. We tried kenneling him, seperating him from the female, keeping him by himself, toys, obedience training, nothing worked. He eventually bit my mother, then killed two puppies, then ttacked our female and another puppy. We neutered him, but he bit me and we had him put to sleep. We loved him, babied him, gave him everything, but did not spoil him. It was heart breaking to put him down, but if you try all that we did, which I recommend you do, neuter if he bites, attacks or kills anything. If he does attack or kill ANYTHING, have him put down.
