She has viciously attacked Sophia, she will not let her go. She punctured her ears and leg one time, thank goodness she didn't need stitches. So Sophia is now staying with my oldest daughter, now its JoJo she is going after. Gwen was brutal to JoJo, she would not let her go, and little JoJo is whinning and I'm trying to put my hand in between and someone bit me, nothing serious. Gwen is a loving girl and its breaking my heart that she is doing this. My husband is now saying that she will have to go. Please someone give me some advice. |

Yes, Yorkies can become quite vicious. If you have a few in a small group, and one goes down, they will all bite at her until they kill the downed dog. Not unusual. Those that don't get along must be kept seperate. If they do it once, they will repeat it.
As for the actual biting match - the best way to seperate fighting dogs is spray them with water. Any sort of squirt bottle, hose or whatever you can get to. A glass full poured on them will even work to seperate the two. My friend has had the more aggressive female attack the passive one and it did result in thee pasive little one's death.
Better to be careful now then sorry later.
