boxer turned aggressive towards his dad

Question
hi, i m completely at my wits end and dont know where to turn.

I have a female boxer called Star who is 5 and a male boxer, sherlock, who is three.  Two years ago they had puppies and I kept one of them.  Everything has been wonderful until a month ago when the baby, harley, started to attack his dad.

It hs gotten more regular as time has gone on and more severe, we now have to keep them in seperate rooms and let star visit each of them for periods of time because they cry so much.

Once they start fighting it is so hard to pull them aprt, they re full of scars and it scares me tht there could be serious injury.

Please tell me in can be sorted, I coudnt bear to part with one of them

Answer
Hi Karen,

You can not have two males or females together that are not spayed or neutered.It is a dominance issue that will most likely not be resolved now that blood has been drawn even if you have them neutered/spayed. Sorry to be the messenger of bad news. Thank you for your question.
