My Male Boston Terriers try to kill each other

My two males Bostons, Oreo is the father of Keebler. They used to get along great but now they get into such terrible fights that blood is drawn and we have to take turns keeping them in a crate while the other one is out. We have a female Boston and one of the other males from the orginal litter. Oreo and the other male do not fight like this so I am baffled on why Oreo and Keebler fight as such. Please give me some ideas on how to curb this fighting, I am scared that they will kill each other.

 Neuter them
by: Joe

You may be able to slightly address this problem using dog psychology, but unless you neuter them, you will always have problems. It's just part of the animal world, natural selection, and survival of the fittest.

 bostons fighting
by: tina

my mom used to breed bassetts. they are normally the sweetest dogs in the world. she kept a pup out of a litter for me. the mom almost killed this poor dog. we now have a male pug that we breed. we kept one of his male puppies and he fought him as he got older. neutering may help. if your female has not been spayed i would spay her and that may keep the males from fighting. i hope this helps some.
