Hey, dwarfwarrior, lay off the shouting!

Well, there were the Petty Dwarves (exemplified by Mim and his sons), who were outcasts from mainstream Dwarvish society. That shows us that there was some Dwarf v Dwarf antagonism.

But I don't doubt, given Dwarvish greed for gold, jewels and the like, that there were more major disputes between Dwarves of different (or perhaps the same) houses. We just don't hear of them, in much the same way that we don't hear a lot about Dwarvish history. Elf (and Hobbit) history just happens to be much more comprehensively documented.
