Can a male and female dog, from the same litter, get along? I just rescued the female from the breeder, they are 4 years old, she wants to kill her brother, not my other dogs who are not related. The breed is never aggressive. I am panicked.

Of course they can get along. I'm not really sure I understand what is happening, but maybe you can rescue him in time. Being that they are 4 years old, if they haven't seen each other lately, they may not remember one another, so it would be introducing them like any other dogs. Good luck!

yes, but it's just the same as with people. My brother annoys the hell out of me all the time, but that's what brothers do. and you should definitely take the other dog too if she's planning to kill it.

Ok, because a "breed" isn't aggressive doesn't mean that an individual dog can't be. People have funny ideas about aggression. Dogs don't know that they are related. They don't even know that they are different breeds. It is just as likely for two siblings to get a long as two unrelated dogs of the same age to get a long. If your home is overcowded with dogs, the two youngest may be vying for positions over each other. It may not affect their relationships with your other dogs but the two that are lowest on the totem pole may fight. I would read "How To Right A Dog Gone Wrong" by Pamela Dennison, it is a lovely book about dog aggression. But again, if you have too many dogs in your home, it may just not be enough room.
