Female dog attacks male dog for no reason?

Question

We have had them both since they were little puppies, We got the male first, and a few months later, we bought the female. Yes, they are related, (both have same father). They never had any problem with each other when they were younger, always were playful towards each other, now almost everyday, our female dog, will attack the male for no apparent reason. We're thinking it could be an act of jealousy, but were not quite sure. Any suggestions? 
Both are basset hounds.
&&; The male is neutered.

Truth Hurts, Doesn&#39;t It? · Accepted Answer

Dogs have their own unique language: literally anything could "set them off" and we wouldn't notice because we don't watch every little movement or expression. If this is a constant thing then the best thing you can do is bring in a behaviorist to examine them - a behaviorist could tell you the problem and how to fix it with minimal damage to dogs or humans.

Does it happen often - like every day, once a week, etc? Is there any pattern to it? Does it happen at a certain time during the day? Are there toys involved? Food? People? Are the dogs excited?

The female ISN"T neutered???
For about a month around the time a female dog is coming into heat, 
they often become much more aggressive, 
towards either sex---neutered or not!  
Perhaps that is the entire problem!

Sound like she has noise issues and by attacking your male, that is how she releases her tension. Also she seems to be that alpa and a bully also. Find a behavioral trainer and get some help, because she may not hurt him now, but eventually she will.
