I have two puppies from the same litter. They are both male and one seems to
be the dominant puppy. the last day or so my dominant puppy has been very
mean to the other puppy. today they were fighting and would not let go of
each other. they had a death grip on each other. I am worried that they are
no longer just playing what do you think I should do?

Well, when it happened, what did you do?

I tried to pull them apart and finally got them apart. I tied them apart for
a few minutes and then took each for a walk. I was at a loss for what to do.
franky it scarred me a little not for my safety but for the smaller puppies
safety.

Could be a struggle for dominance. Happens. And it appears Pup #2 is
holding his own. Let it work itself out. If the viciousness continues
for more than a week, or starts to heighten, get to a vet or several for
advice. And remember, in the puppy world, you're the pack leader;
they'll normally defer to you.
