Hi there, from personal experience with keeping two dogs (also a strong willed breed) it is more important for you to maintain alpha status over them both than to determine who is the alpha between them, as dogs usually sort this out between themselves, but by what you have posted I would say it's the female that sounds more dominant. Two or more dogs from the same household will act as a pack regardless of whether they are related or not....mine do and they aren't related. I would try walking them on a long line until you are sure their recall is 100%...that way they can have some freedom without you having to worry about them cornering other dogs. You can keep two strong willed dogs as long as they know that you are in charge and you are a firm, but fair, leader. Try to keep positive as your dogs will sense you are not confident in handling them otherwise, and will naturally take advantage of this. Best of luck
