About a month ago, the dog I'm planning on adopting (Nicco) got into a terrible fight with his foster mom's resident female pittie over a rawhide. The female had gone into Nicco's crate to get it, and he fought for it. The foster mom's resident 7-year-old male joined in the fight and attacked Nicco. Both Nicco and the female were injured and required antibiotics for their wounds. My question is...now that Nicco has been in his first fight (that we know of), is he more likely to fight in the future? I have no problem keeping rawhides and toys put away, and I'm hoping this was an isolated incident regarding very a very specific trigger, but I'm still concerned. I'm prepared to crate and rotate the two dogs if I have to, but I'd really like Bella and Nicco to be able to co-exist. (I'm not expecting them to be best buds or anything.)
Nicco is about 12 months old, and the resident female is 3. Until that fight, they had gotten along perfectly.
