they are really well behaved other wise what can I do top change this behavior
my male is fatface & is 4yrs old & my female is weta &
is 3 1/2 years old ...please advise what I can do or
were to go to help me with this problem

Answer
I have the same issue with my dogs and the only thing I have found that works is to feed them in rooms separated by doors. Maybe try: male in the bathroom, female in the kitchen. Just as long as they CAN'T get to each other during feeding time. Also if you give one dog a treat the other needs to get one as well. The breed of your dogs has NOTHING to do with food aggression at all. If you have any more questions feel free to ask!

Good Luck!
