You also may have a case of two dominate males trying to say "Hey, I'm the leader of this pack!" Once you spay it should help them calm down. Other than this, a little rough play (among themselves) is normal. Yes, I believe it will.

The other sharpei had had an upset stomach, and we had been advised by our vet to keep them seperated, because they had been testy with each other. Now we have been advised to have them both spayed, will this help with the behavior pattern? As it seems one of them has become over-protective of the whole house with my wife. Please advise...thankyou Admin,

SharPei are not nor ever have been fighting dogs. The term fighting dog came around because there was no Chinese translation for "GUARD DOG". They are guard dogs, not fighting dogs.
