As far as pecking order is concerned, you are the alpha male/female. They can establish a pecking order amongst themselves, but you have to make it clear that infighting in your pack is unacceptable. If you allow them to fight too much, they can be injured or killed, and I know that's the last thing any dog owner wants.
I've loved all my dogs, and I want them to be happy and free, but at the end of the day they live by my rules because my rules keep them safe.
BTW, I love rots and akitas. Awesome breeds.
