Hi Skeezix. I am no expert, as you can see by some of my posts, but as far as the breaking up a fight I have a bit of experience. I used to have 2 female American Bulldogs who would do the same thing. You stated that when you break up the fight, Griff takes the opportunity to gain the upper hand and really hurt Buddy. If this happens again, grab Griff by his hind legs and lift him up. This should make him feel uncomfortable and make him stop. It worked for me.
