thanks all for your replies. i made a mistake, we got her when she was 8 weeks old not 8 months.

Yes they are both spayed, the corgi has been for over a year and the other, since she was a pup.

Glencorgi: you are right about the other dog giving her the "look", before this she would give her the "look" and the corgi would roll over on her belly and be submissive, now i think she just isnt taking it any more and trying to dominate. But now she is also just starting the fights with out the "look"

Peggy: the other dog is or was the alpha female, she was in charge of the house and lets my moms dogs when we go over there that she is in charge. They are fine most of the time together, we go to the park and the play and chase each other, we come home and they chase each other and play with thier toys together, its jsut those moments of i dont know what goes on that they get into a fight.

I do admit we baby our dogs and they get the run of the house, get to sleep on the couch and chairs and they even sleep in our bed. I think its time that me and my gf lay down the law on them and we need to be the dominte ones in the house.

Currently to deter them from fighting, if either of them growl at each other or if they give them the "look" we mussel both dogs, i think they get it that they are in trouble when the mussels do on, they look so sad and pitaful, but we leave them on for atleast an hour, hopefully they will learn.

I also wonder if since the corgi is becoming in to her terreible 2's that this can be why also. They are very much like sisters, one day they can be playing with each other, next day they are fighting, then next day playing again. We will be watching them closly and hopefully able to establish our dominates over them.
