Is the Weim neutered? If not, this is where I would start.

I've heard of guys putting mussles on their dogs if they have a couple fighters. Turn them loose together and sit back and watch the show. They will tire out and nobody gets hurt. This is assuming that by "knock down drag out brawl" you mean actual locking up on each other. Don't know if this actually works or not, I've just heard of guys doing this. Just make sure the mussles fit good and won't come off if they are actually biting each other.

What kind of fighting are you talking about? I thought I had seen dog fights until this past season while I was pheasant hunting. One shorthair turned on the other and they laid into each other. Holes in ears, jowels, legs. It was nasty! If this is not the kind of problem you are experiencing, definitely let them duke it out, and establish the pecking order the other guys have mentioned.

Also if it turns into a locked up dog fight where they are actually tearing eachother up, don't grab them by the collar to pull them apart. (Good way to get bitten yourself) You need two people to do this, but go up behind the dogs and grab their back legs out from under them and just pull the dogs away from each other. This makes the dogs feel like they have lost control and they will turn loose then. Good Luck.

Thanks for the history and the tip shrpshtr. I always enjoy hearing why things are done and dog history.
