You're right, when there's a fight and you have mulitple dogs, "pack order" kicks in and dogs almost all dogs available will get involved. Even dogs that wouldn't normally start a fight on their own will join in.
And seperating a pack fight is much different than seperating just two dogs. They usually gang up on one dog and getting them off is not easy.
Anytime you have multiple dogs (meaning more than two) this is a possiblity and as mentioned it can be with any breed.
It was a very good caution to bring up.
