Serious fight

Two dogs try to cause each other serious injuries in a high-intensity interaction. The main target areas for bites are the head, muzzle and throat; the dogs may grab each other, above all in the area of the loose skin of the throat area, and then shake their opponent.
(Rottenberg, 2000)
