> I have a beagle pekinese mix. She is very agressive towards my other dog and will usually attach her if she gets to close to me. Beagles are very friendly towards other dogs, could it be the peke in her or just her personality? I have found out that if I ignore them when they are fighting they do not fight as much, but she just will not let my other dog near me. Is there anything I can do? It seems when I try to seperate them she gets even angrier or I get hurt. What do you suggest.

It is definitely the Peke coming out! Pekes are loveable but have no sense when it comes to larger dogs. They think they can rule the roost
over any dog...especially big ones. When my Pekes fight, out comes the spray bottle of water. They don't like to have their face wet. It will stop the bad behavior almost immediately.
