the world?? My Chihuahua is always nipping her in the face too. My peke puts up with everything but I don't want my Chihuahua to be mean to her. By the way, they are both girls and the Chihuahua is not fixed yet. I can't fix her until she is 6 months old. My peke is fixed.

The chihuahua is trying to assert dominance over the pekingese. They'll work it out amongst themselves. Just make sure they're safe and not breaking skin by biting each other. This is completely normal pack behavior though. Don't worry about it.

There are two things at play here
1) raging teenage hormones
2) dominance issues
One will be dealt with by spaying and the other by training.

By the way, two female dogs are the most likely combination to NOT get along. This is a common problem with two b*tches. Spray the pup with water whenever she snaps at the older dog and give a sharp ' Uh Uh'. This should work pretty quickly.

Right now your dog is going through a fase. Picture it as just growing up and expiramenting, kinda like humans [teenagers]. Actually every animal goes through this. Don't worry, this too shall pass... hopefully XD
so don't be wigged out, totally natural!

P.S.
you don't have to rush off and get your dog fixed because of this either (allthough it is a good idea overall)
It's prolly not really a show of domanence yet, he/she's still young. but then again I may not be getting the whole story.
