shashaxxx: Good thing you posted about this b/c I am also getting a bit worried about Ginger and ShyAnne. Shy is almost 4 mos old and they've been together for a month. They play and play all day - and half the nite, sometimes. And, they do get rough!!

Ginger is 1.5yo and not much bigger than the new pup so I get anxious when I hear either one of them yelp! Wondering how much is "too rough" and when should Mommy step in and separate them. I've done that already a few times and then I feel guilty - one or the other starts the play fight all over again, looking at me like "what's the problem, Mom!?"

So, hearing from others about rough play between pups or between adult and pup, would be nice. I know that play/fighting between siblings can get rough and scary but that it is ok to just leave them be.
