Ringo sounds like he's going to rip Lucy apart when they are playing. Ahhh; so 'precious'. Not.

When I first brought Lucy home; I watched them closely together and separated them or distracted them with a toy if things started to escalate too much. It's a fine line because you don't want to interfere too much either . . .

Like someone said -you will know the difference. Play growing; play biting - fine. Any blood drawn is not fine.

Also, if one dog is hiding from the other - that's a sign they have had enough and a break would be in order.

Good Luck!
