When Tucker was small he would play with the Doberman across the road. The Doberman was amazingly gentle with Tuck and VERY patient with him. The Dobie would "playbow" to Tuck then the two would run all over like crazy.
In Puppy Obedience class Tuck's best buddy was a hyper lab named Waylon. Old waylon would get Tuck's head in his mouth but the second Tuck made a sound release him. Tuck would let the other dog know when he was feeling uncomfortable.
Lulu on the other hand is very submissive. Most dogs see her roll on her back or curl up to them and they just relent to her "cuteness". EXCEPT for a wonderful but out of control Border Collie in Tucker's agility class. Poor Maeve just doesn't get to play much w/ other dogs so she doesn't realize she is so rough. Tucker puts her in her place but Lulu is so submissive. Poor Lules came home with a scratch on her nose from playing w/ Maeve last week. With much drama, she showed me the scratch and she got the appropriate amount of coddling to ease the pain!
