The Bichon’s owner suffered a nasty injury when she tried to separate the two dogs.
District Judge Marie Mallon asked for a pre-sentence report from the probation service.
Moore, of West View Road, Hartlepool, who has no previous convictions, must return to court for sentence in January.
The court was told the terrier has since been rehomed.
