We had an incident last night, it happened real fast but luckily I was right there to stop it. Daisy had a high value item- the bone from a deer leg we'd fed her the night before- and was laying at my feet chewing it. Gunnar came over for some attention. His only path to me was right in front of her. He wasn't interested in the bone, just getting to me. When he came over she growled and lunged, and he reacted fast and it got loud and intense to say the least. I jumped up and got between them, and made him back up. He was pissed! He growled at her for a few more seconds till I told him to hush up. She was on her side, almost in a fetal position, tail tucked, but she was still growling too. As fast as it happened, he had given her 4 cut. One got her ear on both the inside and outside, and one on the top and bottom of her muzzle, almost like he got her entire muzzle with one bite.
She's fine today and they are still friends, but I'm going to have to keep a much closer watch on them when there are valuable treats laying around.
Here's her wounds, not too bad today. A scratch on the outside of the ear and a nick on the inside. You can't even see the muzzle ones today. They all bled a little but not too bad.
See, still friends!
