Question
we just got two french bull dogs three days ago
Both are well trained good dogs for the most part, BUT
she's 16months and is very aggressive when she sees other large dogs / fine with small dogs need input on how to help socilize her. She also seems to be alergic to grass or something her belly is red and she knaws on her feet constently, She also wakes up with gupy eyes.

He is 10 months - he keeps sneezing and had snot white discharge yesterday and this morning sneezing and a nose bleed. He eats grass constentaly - I feel like I bought a cow not a dog. Threw up twice the first day and hasn't sence.

We did get them from Palm Springs where its very hot and dry and we live in San Diego - so I am thinking they are adjusting.
Any suggestions

Answer
Russell,

Sounds like both your pups should see a vet.  I would have them do a skin scrape on your girl make sure doesn't have a skin problems other than allergies.

Anytime a pup has a nasal discharge that is not clear, you should see a vet.  Since his nose is bleeding also, it may just be because of change of climate.  I think you should have him checked just to make sure.

For socialization, just have some controlled interactions.  If you have a friend that has a large dog, plan some time together that you can help her to learn not to be aggressive.

Hope that helps,
