Answer 1

if they are trained to do so

Answer 2

There's not one definitive answer to this question! A lot depends on the individual personalities of the dogs, whether or not one, or both, of them are neutered, how old they are etc.

Two neutered males who are accustomed to each other may be able to live harmoniously, although there's always the potential for squabbling - especially over toys, food, you..etc.

Males tend towards 'posturing' a little more than actually fighting in earnest, but that doesn't mean that a minor 'argument' won't develop into a proper fight.

Two females are much more likely to fight to the death (sometimes literally).

If one of your dogs is the 'resident' dog, and one is a newcomer - it's important for you to treat the resident as the 'alpha' dog and feed, pet, greet etc. him first. Dogs will attempt to work out their own 'pecking order', and if possible it's best for you not to interfere, and to support their decision, unless you feel that one (or both) is in danger of getting hurt.

I have several Rottweilers myself, and my males are more able to co-exist than the females. When you have two dogs as powerful as Rotties, you need to be very vigilant in order to keep them safe. And educate yourself on the best way to deal with a true fight, should it happen.

Hope this helps some. Best of luck with your dogs. Rottweilers are the best!

Answer 3

Hiya, most dogs will have a scuffle (or more) untll the pack position is sorted out. Whether it be Rotti's or Poodles lol
Are you getting them both at the same time or adding another to an existing one?
If your'e adding another, let them meet on neutral ground first of all, take it from there, if they dont get on outside the house, then you may have problems inside.
If you are getting them both at the same time, they will both be on new territory, one will assum dominance.
To save on scuffles, watch to see who the dominant one is, and Feed that one first, Pat that one first, Let it in and out the door first. This will keep thing happy, as they will know their place, it seems a shame on the other one, but trust me they will both be happier. Jealousy can cause lots of fights!
Another thing to think about is neutering the less dominant one. - The more dominant one will then feel secure in his place. Its all doggy politics. So basically, yes, they can live together, just help them to get along. x
One more thing, If you havent got them yet the best thing to do is get one, let him grow, then get a pup, the pup will then know its place. Good luck, hope it works out x

Answer 4

Same sex aggression is common in some breeds and Rotts would be one of those breeds.
Some can live with another dog of the same sex in the home and some can not tolerate it.
Even if they are both neutered it can be a problem. Some will fight even after one has established that he is the alpha dog.
It would be better to have one of ech sex and have both altered it would be a more peaceful household environment and less fighting.

Answer 5

Of course they can, under certain circumstances. If they are both neutered, there should be no problems there. If they are brought into the house at the same time as youngsters, they should be fine. Or, if an older and gentler dog is already in the house and a young dog is brought in, they should also be fine.

To get a better, more specific answer, you really should provide some more information.

Answer 6

Where you have two dogs of the same gender, once the pecking order is established the "fighting" will stop. Occassionally the "top" dog will make sure the other one still knows it's place.

Answer 7

Yes they can there is. We had a male rottweiller and a male bullmastiff and we had no problems with them showing any aggression to any other dogs, but they were fixed. We had more problems with two females also fixed fighting and there was no playing about it.

Answer 8

If you have one, and are thinking of getting another, I suggest doggie day care to get the "resident" accustomed to pac mentality, it is so good for their social skills. My Rotti has no signs of aggression, and he has been going to daycare for 8 months- he loves it.

Answer 9

all dogs may fight. If they are from the same litter they may pack up. You need to be the alpha male in this relationship. I hope these are not your first dogs

Answer 10

Maybe once the dominance thing is sorted between them, get them both neutered too as this will help calm them down.

Answer 11

Yes i had two and they were just fine they were brothers also it might help if they are clipped
