Just wanted to share this with you guys. And yeah, the dog in the background being held back is my boyfriend's Dachshund, Missy. (She has lost a lot of weight!) She's not great with dogs in general, especially when their two "puppies" playing and rough-housing. When the two other dogs are running around outside chasing each other and stuff, Missy tries to catch up with them and nip them both and make them stop (which she sometimes succeeds, but they both eventually go back to playing. And Missy can't keep up with them to stop them all the time)

The other dog is also my boyfriend's, her name's Jade. Her breed is unknown but for some reason a lot of people think she has Rhodesian Ridgeback in her (Just minus the ridge on the back). When my boyfriend first got her, it was hell getting Missy to "allow" her to be in the house. She did the same nipping/growling stuff with Rocky, but she's gotten really comfortable around Jade now that its been a couple of weeks. In fact, I think Missy has taken the "Mother" role with her sometimes. And of course, the big boy is mine, Rocky.

Enjoy! (Or give suggestions/feedback if you want) Or if there is something I should've corrected or ANYTHING...let me know!

I didn't see any problem... except the dog falling on her head a few times :) I did notice two times that the Pit hurt Jade - one time was a nip that was held too long and the other was lying on a front leg and trapping it. Both very, very minor and I think you caught one of them. But, that's just a good reason to monitor them. Pits have a high threshold for pain, and even when gentle (as yours is), they don't always recognize when they hurt another dog.

When two adolescent Pits or Labs play, sometimes one or both will come away a little bloody, without even realizing it... just like adolescent boys. If a non-Pit playmate has the patience, self-handicap and Bite Inhibition will continue to improve...

Keep it up...
