Do they normally show their teeth??? When Coco and Rocco play, I notice they both play and make growly noises, and they don't ever hurt each other, but they show their teeth. Like their teeth kinda come out like they look mean, and I know that's usually a sign of aggression or a threat in the dog world, but they just keep on running around playing, is that normal? Do they normally show their teeth even when they're playing? They run around, nipping each others ears, and legs, and go in circles chasing each other, and wrestling each other to the ground. It is super fun to watch and only once or twice I heard a yelp, and the one who caused the yelp immediately went back and licked the yelper as an "I'M SORRY" gesture. Should I be worried or is this just how they play? I always thought that in EVERY situation teeth being shown was a sign of an oncoming fight. Am I wrong? |
I have no clue but your two really sound like they are just enjoying each other. I bet their cute to watch chasing each other around. Sounds like the don't mean business but just having sibling fun. |
Mine show their teeth sometimes, but I know they're just playing around. Neither one of them is aggressive at all, and they have a blast chasing each other and playing hide and seek. It's hilarious! |
Yes , its normal for them to show their teeth when they are playing . Mine do that all the time . You should see little 8 weeks old puppies that I have now . They are so funny when they try to impress the adults . |
Hootie and Hobbs always show their teeth and growl at each other when they play. They never bite each other. They do what I like to call, "bitey face." They hold their mouths open on each other but never bite down. |

Yup mine show their teeth too. They pull eachother by their ears, legs and whatever else they can pull but don't hurt eachother. I think I heard a yelp once and that came from Timmy. One thing I do have to watch when they play is Mimi because she uses her weight as an advantage. She's 9 lbs. The other day I was cooking and they were playing and all the sudden I heard a loud bang and that was Timmy's head. She put all her weight on him and knocked him over. I also put my hands in the middle sometimes to see if they are actually biting eachother hard and they're not. |

"bitey face"!! That's a great way to put it. LOL :) They never bite each other, they just make those faces at each other. |

Do they ever sound like they are killing each other? I :confused: started a thread under "training" about an incident I had with Gizmo (yorkie puppy) and Sugar (Cairn terrier mix adult rescue). I REALLY thought Gizmo was hurt or dying, but I found NO marks or sore spots. I find it hard to believe they could "play" like this....[shaking my head and throwing my hands up] LOL! |

Nobie trust me, it's totally normal. Codie, Tia and even little Cali do that all the time. Then when they're done, they go lay on their bed and make out lol :D |
Poli does the same all the time ! And it is all play ! |
It's play spencer & zoe do the same thing when they are playing together |
It's an "I'M SORRY !" ;) Two of my three Yorkies do this - one of them smiles real smiles on command (Casper the famous smiling Yorkie - see previous pics on smiling threads) - but the other, Tammy has a sorry smile, my third Tara doesn't smile unless she was snarling which is very rare - I also had a collie when I was a teenager who was SORRY all the time, and then had a Bearded Collie who was SORRY, (though our current Beardie Tasha doesn't, she just "sings") - and none of them was vicious, it was always if they had done something they might be sorry for - and the collies even answered to "ARE YOU SORRY !" with TEETH ! :animal-pa Debra, Scotland |
My pups show their teeth to each other all the time.... Especially the mom and daughter (Sophie and Isis).... They play for at least one hour each night, wrestling and tug of war.... they really seem to enjoy their play time. The dad sometimes joins in on the fun but normally he is too cool to play with the girls...hehehe |

When Chloe does that, I do it back to her...it's funny! |
3 Attachment(s) Biscuit and Willow play like this constantly. At first, I was always worried about Willow's safety since she is 2 pounds and Biscuit is 10, but he never hurts her. He knows how to be gentle enough for her, she on the other hand bites the heck out of him! |

LOL... My girls play like that too...:D It's very funny when they do the "bitey face" and make weird barks, moannings and growls...:p :D :D |
Chase and Halle play like that all the time until their little tongues are hanging out. They run into things, bump their heads, slide across the floor. There is no stopping the fun they are having with each other. At first I was nervous with the head bumping the walls or hardwood floor, but they never seem phased by it at all. Now I just let them have fun until they are all tuckered out. I love it. I keep saying I'm going to video it, but I haven't done it yet. It can be very entertaining.:D |
Does your yorkie show their teeth? I have a 12 yr. old yorkie, she has been showing her teeth since she was a baby. She is actually smiling. She does it to company. She gets very excited and always smiles. I have talked to other people, that say their yorkie smiles too. |

It looks vicious but it's all play in a Yorkie day! |
1 Attachment(s) Here's a picture of Jazzie playing with Jewel. (Jewel is the little mean looking one). |
Izzy and Luna show their teeth, and Luna growls and yips:laugh: I used to separate them at first, I thought they were trying to kill each other. But they'd cry until I put them back together, then they were right back at it again. Izzy could rip Luna's throat out if she so desired, she's twice her size, but she's never hurt Luna at all, in fact Luna is the agressor in most of their play, while Iz lays on her back and takes it:laugh: |
