I only have two so guessing it's not a true pack. Emma can be with any dog and has a mild good natured temperament. Even when our Son's doberman was here at Christmas Emma walked around like she owned the place (she does lol) where as Chloe stayed in hiding most of the time.

When Chloe was a puppy Emma would teach her puppy manners and they played nice together. As Chloe grew Emma became sick with heart worms and of course she spent more and more time resting. And her recovery time took several months. During this time Chloe grew (she's 1 now) and was used to getting her way - walking in/out of the door first, taking away toys that Emma was interested in. Chloe seems to have a more fisty disposition at least towards Emma...

As Emma has got stronger they have started fighting. At least once ever two weeks or more. They never fight over food - they eat side by side. They seem to fight over just a look or me. Three out of four times Chloe will be the winner.

My question is should I let them fight it out as Hubby suggests, break them up as I feel I should. More importantly how do I stop the fights?
