Why is my male dog angry?

I have 3 dogs 1 male fox terrier desexed, 1 jack russell male desexed called Lucky, and another jack russell male called Benny who is not desexed . The jack russell who isnt desexed is 3 years old while my other jack russell is only 12 months who just had his operation for desexing. Benny was frisky before we got Lucky fixed but stopped for 3 months after Luckys op but now I found Benny on top of Lucky today. Benny growls at Lucky alot when Benny is in my territory first and Lucky comes over 2nd and Benny growls at him all the time. He seems to want me to himself. Benny and the foxie get on great because he was here 1st then Benny and we got Lucky not long ago.

You have a pack of dogs. As far as they are concerned, that's what they are.
Benny wants to be top dog. It's not exactly anger, more dominance. In Pack law, he would be accepted as leader, and the others would kow-tow to him.
But, he has not accepted that in reality YOU are pack leader of the whole show...not him.
I don't have enough experience of dealing with behavior issues like this. I'll tell you who knows quite a bit about this, and that's Jaybay. See if you can send her a note or a message. She would help you I'm sure.
