I myself have never had my girls fight but I have heard it happen on here with others many times. My girls are very close and get along great and have never gotten into a fight. I've even had a girl jump into another pen with the other mother and puppies as she wanted to help take care of them. I don't allow it as I fear that something could go wrong but it happened a couple of times before I found a way of covering the expens to keep them out. Doesn't happen anymore since I figured a way of covering it but it was pretty amusing the first time I saw the wrong mother nursing the wrong puppies.
The only fights we have around here is between the boys when a girl is in heat. Any other time and the boys are great with each other. So now when a girl is coming in heat we separate the boys and it solves the problem.
You really need to separate them if they are fighting. They should always be separated when one is pregnant or has puppies. |
