I adopted a 10 yr old yorkie last year that I had been fostering. She and my 3 yr old shorkie have always gotten along well together until about a month ago. They have now started fighting whenever my husband or I are near them. They start out staring each other down and then get in a knock down drag out fight. I am at my wits end. I've tried the water bottle, or separating them but they start again as soon as they are near each other. We pull them apart and have gotten bitten several times and the shorkie has lost a tooth when we were trying to break them up. They are both females and have both bben spayed. I would appreciate any suggestions.
