I prevent their fights by separating them. I have daughters from each of them living in my home and others have pups from these girls as well. I have a champion from one of these moms. Neither the girls that I kept nor any of my puppy owners has had a problem with aggression from any of the pups.
These two girls only hate each other. They would accept the pups of each other in a heartbeat as their own. I have never seen any form of aggression other then to each other.
I firmly believe that there is no genetic defect in these two girls that causes them to fight and I do not believe that I am perpetuating the problem of aggression by having bred them. At any rate, both of these girls have been spayed so I will no longer be perpetuating the problem.
I certainly do not condone that the OP bred this little girl who came from an abused past but as far as the fighting is concerned I do believe that the problem can happen to anyone.

The way that I have interpreted this situation is that the OPer said that she was not willing to rehome the aggressive female because she made money off of her. I think that is were the real issue came into play. The more questions that were asked the deeper she dug a hole for her "business". That is what bothered me about what was being said. They were fighting and killing puppies but she initially did not want to rehome since it would cause a loss of revenue which allow her to pay her bills. But maybe I just misread her words
