Posted By: jeannehI was considering that Simone is getting a little sick of being pushed around by a little brat. Maybe she's attempting to move her position up in the pack?

This morning all the seemingly harmless fighting came to a head. It started Thursday night, when they had to be separated by force. Bella seemed to be the instigator.
The Thursday night fight was over an empty bowl (which had white rice in it). Bella was sick, so I gave her some rice to settle her stomach. She ate it, and Simone came over to check out her bowl. Bella was nasty and started snapping and growling. Usually Simone would back off from this behavior but she did not. It took 2 of us to get them apart.
Friday was not much better with little tiffs breaking out between the girls over NOTHING.
This morning all 3 dogs were restless, and having little break-out fights over nothing. Simone being the main "actor" in the fights. I thought they needed some outside time.
Instead of a long walk, I took them to my neighbors fenced-in yard so they could run free and get some of that energy out. Everything was going fine. About 15 minutes into the appropriate play and run time, Bella snapped at Simone and Simone attacked her. When say attack, I mean, she grabbed Bella by the neck and just started shaking her. Bella broke free and went right back after Simone. The fight lasted about 30 seconds.
My neighbor came out to see if he could help me separate them.
The end result was Simone's mouth bleeding, and Bella with blood all over the left side of her face, blood spitting out of her mouth, and nose.
This has NEVER happened before. Neither dog has ever been bleeding after a fight.
Simone has a tiny nick on her outer jowl, but it seems OK. After washing all the blood off Bella I found a tiny lacerations on her forehead, scratches on the inside part of her ear and a 1/4" gash in the cartilage on the upper outside part of her ear. The scratches inside her ear were bleeding so bad, I thought they were MUCH worse than they turned out to be.
Thoughts for solution, or cause, so I can prevent this from happening again?
