I have a bad start to a Sunday. Let me describe the scene I have a dog called rocky-male, a dogs called sandy-female and three pupps between them lily, buster and bruno. So in the mourning I was feeding the pups and then I was playing with them. We went do the dog house and then lily started biting bruno and he ran into the dog house and I folowed them in and their parents ran in and started attacking bruno so I ran and picked him up and sheilded him from their jaws and claws and some one came in and stopped them.
OK then the same mourning. Buster was barking at the cat and I asked my brother (tomy) to go out and stop him barking. Then I saw rocky coming round the house`and shouted to tomy though I was sure he could not hear so I sprinted round and saw the dogs attacking my brother and him with my cat in his hands. I screamed for my dad and he came running and he chased off the dogs and the cat ran up the tree. Tomy was covered in cat scratches and dog marks. To get the cat out of the tree it took some persuasion but he was fine. 2 broken nails.

Both of these problems had rockys serious participation. My dad says we should castrate him. Any ideas of what we can do? I seriously need help

Sounds like the whole crowd need to be castrated and spayed, there is obviously an overabundance of hormones leading to bad behavior.
Since you have an entire "family" of dogs you should know that it is not uncommon for littermates to mate with each other.
Is there somewhere for the cat to stay away from the dangers of being attacked by the dogs?
Are your dogs confined?

Edit: How old are these pups?
You are pretty young if I recall correctly, I don't know how old your brother is, but getting into the middle of fighting dogs is very dangerous, this is something an adult needs to handle.

Well my cat can stay in the house and I think that is what he is going to do. My dogs are not confined and roam around the garden. The pups are almost 3 months old. I am pretty young, I am 13 years old and my brother is 3 years younger than me, we know who dangerous getting in fights with dogs is. Eariler this year our dogs fought a lot and I got in between them. I stopped them fighting though I received a minor gap between my fingers and a tetnous shot. Another question. Do you have any methods to stop dogs fight?

Yes, re-home some of them and the ones you keep have neutered

Thanks for the advice but I am too attached to give any of my dogs away. And I am sure they are other ways of management

[LadySam]

Well the pups are too young to neuter/spay now, but it would definitely be advisable to neuter dad at this point and spay mom.
For you, and your brother if you can't make them stop fighting by yelling at them and spraying them with a water hose, I would not advise that a child do anything hands on to stop a dog fight.
What kind of dogs are they?
In all honesty it if you don't have a way of keeping them separate, they will likely fight.
Has your family considered rehoming the puppies?

[Wondergirl]

The animals will live a lot longer and be healthier if they are neutered. Otherwise, tumors and all kinds of cancer become threats, along with wounds and infections from fighting.

Why not neuter them?

The dad is a lab and the mum is a mix.
We have considered rehoming them but we have gotten to attched to them.
