Oh I feel so sorry for you ! I answered your last thread about this, as I had the same thing start with my 7yr old spayed bitch and the coming up 4 entire bitch I bought last year.

A breeder friend of mine here in Scotland told me that as they had only had one fight at that point, that I could put a stop to it by being very firm with them.
They do the staring thing as well, and it's always the younger new-comer Tammy who lets rip - Tara is so placid, but has always been the Queen, even when it was just her. Then when she was 3.5 I got her a boyfriend Casper 19 months at the time, and now 4.5 and she was still the Queen, with no problems at all. But all changed with Tammy - she is such a tease and goads Tara by stealing toys off her and even her bed from under her.
I was gobsmacked at how Tara tore into Tammy after Tammy went for her first !
I have to say I am always with them, and that helps anyway, but Tammy has only tried to go for Tara once more since then.....when I had Tara under my arm, and went to put Tammy under the other arm while carrying them - wow - Tammy just lunged at Tara, but I droped Tammy and gave her a telling off. She knew fine she had done wrong - she has a habit of cowering on the floor, all sheepish - probably from her terrible previous life - but I have to say that is the last trouble I have had.
The slightest look from either of them and I TUT TUT them and they are fine.
I only got another female because I thought two males would fight !

I would deffo try spaying the two of them as soon as you can. I am about to spay Tammy anyway - I just left it a bit in case I decided to have one litter off her first, but nothing happened last time, and the timing won't be good in August, so if I don't do it this time she will be spayed.

I really feel for you - as it really takes you back how these tiny dogs can be so vicious !
Tammy doesn't mean any harm - I think she is playing, but in a dominent manner due to her previous life where she even had to fight for her food, poor thing. Her ears are just tatters under the hair.
I am watching out that what has happened to you doesn't happen to me !
I hope you can do something - if not she won't be short of a very good home - she is gorgeous !
