Is this too aggressive play? Video link!

Great video - they are both very cute. Looks like normal boxer play to me. Mine are 4 and 5 years old and still play like this

That was like watching my two playing It does sound aggressive but its only play. I was a bit scared at first when they were playing but got used to the noise.

Reminded me of Zoey playing with her friend Olive! Looked like regualr puppy play!
Zoey also liked the video, she watched it, and perked up when the barking and growling intensified! Cute puppies!

I agree they seem to just be playing and setting boundaries! They are really cute!

I disagree

If this behavior where among puppies of the same age, I would say that the White Boxer seems to be ok. But since The fawn boxer is older, I dont think that is normal puppy behavior. The white boxer is defenetly more dominant than his older sis. and since the older sis lets him get away with more, the white boxer is not learning to stop earlier. The part towards the end when he get mad at the fawn boxer for getting up, that should have been the place where another dog with less tolerance would have scolded the pup. This is a sing of a dominant dog, not a bad dog, but one that is going to need more socialization and more disipline. If you teach him early, let the fawn boxer scold him, he should grow up to be a well behaved dog. But I can't stress enough how important it is for you to socialize him, with other dogs shapes, sizes, and ages in particular.

That was sooo cute! Thanks for sharing for those of us who have the baby blues.

It is exactly how my two are. Laila is very bossy towards Cassius, and MUCH more vocal.....you'd think there was a vicious dog attack going on!
When Cassius has enough of the little one, he'll just walk away.
I thought it was funny when he just walked casually into his crate
I think you've got perfectly normal boxers!

Luka is soooo cute!! He looks just like Zeus in how he plays w/ Molly. I used to worry about them, but I think it just looks worse than it is.

Thats nothing.. just wait until the wee one gets bigger. Then you start to worry..

There can not be that much of an age difference between them.
