But that is her problem, I have considered a muzzle, this is the first time he has actually bitten a dog, its usually just growling and snapping, I think it was because he was so small.

Yes we have had Alfie from 8 weeks old, he was the only boy in a litter and we had to have a few days early as he was being picked on by an adult male so he already had negative experiences.
I would muzzle him from now on and contact a good behaviourist, as they are the ones who can solve this. It sounds like fear aggression, but he needs to meet dogs that are sociable and quiet (him with a muzzle), so he can see that dogs are not scary things.
