You know I up until two weeks ago said the same thing about my male Neo'. He would never get involved when the bitches would fight, just make noise and hop around mostly (all show). Two weeks ago was my first tussel between the two since last winter. I jumped in to stop the fight when it started slipped on the ice lost grip and dropped the collar of one dog & it started again! I jumped on the back of my female Neo' (yeah. yeah I know) knocked her to the ground and laid on her. (My ddb is almost 9 but she wants to go rounds just the same.) Well I was laying on the female to keep her from fighting-ddb grabbed my leg instead of the neo's. As soon as I yelped my male Neo' came in and bull-dosed my ddb and held her at bay till I got the bucking bronco (hehehe=Neo) calmed down and someone else to remove the ddb from the lot. It was all done and over with in a few minutes...But it was nice to know my male would get involved (even with his girls) if I was too.
