I'm not sure I understand your question. To clarify, your female dog does not like the male puppy? Unfortunately, some dogs will never like other dogs for various reasons (temperament, trauma..etc). Bully breeds are especially notorious for being best in single dog households (although keep in mind, dogs are all individuals). If the dogs are not spay and neutered, this can contribute to aggression but it may not fix the problem. Your best option is to work with a professional trainer or rehome one of the dogs if there is a danger of injury or harm to the dogs. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
