Coworker was at my place a few months back and fell in love with my yella dog so i helped him pick out a puppy from a yella bmc hog dog litter down the road. He's not gonna use him on Hogs but wants to train him to track wounded deer, find antlers and just have as an all purpose dog. Anyhow, he's only had the dog a couple weeks and called me worried the dog is too aggressive with his other dog. Couldnt get out to his place due to weather so i had him send me a video of his pup playing with his older dog at a time when he thought the pup was "acting up". What i saw on the video was a normal healthy cur pup playing with a well balanced adult bulldog/catahoula - nothing about it was alarming to me but i've been training/raising/huntin over dogs and pups nonstop for almost 40 years- so i've pretty much seen it all. Just looking for some others input to make sure I'm not missing something here? If i had room, i'd just tell him, yea it looks bad better let me take him off your hands  Anyway, Any of yall see anything out of line about how these dogs are "playing"? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cDiHwylhaA |

Lol....looks fine to me. When big boy gets tired of the runt I'm sure he'll let him know. Course your buddy will probably have a fit then, lol.
I wouldn't be worried about it.

Looks fine to me too. Confident lil pup. The bigger guy will put him in his place eventually.

Looks like normal to me. Should be a gritty lil dude tho. Like said if the pup gets out of hand the big one will straighten him out. Both good looking dogs.

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...

Looks like normal behavior from a good pup, with both playing well together. What does he want the pup to do, run and hide?

Atlas, thats pretty much what i told him. I told him that i'd be worried if at 9 weeks, that little guy was hiding in a corner somewhere or wanting to be left alone. What i see is a healthy pup playing with a willing/patient adult dog as he learns what is and isnt going to be tolerated. I trained his adult dog 6 years ago as a 10 wk pup (kept him for 3 months) and i had to remind him that he was pretty much the exact same way as are most healthy pups.
I think his wife was the one worried bc she'd never been around a dog until she met him 2 years ago - so never seen how pups play and she was worried that big boy was gonna get chewed up too much. As others said, i told him when he's had enough he will let little man know and that's how boundaries get established.
