Pet's info: Dog | Jack Russell Terrier | Female | spayed | 9 years and 10 months old
Why do two unspayed dogs fight alot around a spayed dog? They we alot Indoors also. Is it something wrong with the female dog or is the male dogs being territorial?

I think you mean the male dogs are unneutered, as it is intact female dogs who are unspayed. To answer your question, yes they are being territorial. Male dogs will fight for territory when a fight is around, even if the female is spayed. To prevent this behavior, I would have them both neutered.
