Play fighting is normal behavior in puppies but can become more serious and unfortunately two sisters (indeed 2 females in general) aremore likely to progress to serious injury than a mixed pair. Rehoming of one is definitely worthy of consideration, also keeping them separate when not supervised and avoiding triggers such as sharing food bowls or toys. It is possible they may grow out of this but it is equally possible it could escalate as they mature
