Puppy Growl!!!

If they wag their tail when they are growling then their just having fun. Most boxers do it

My guys sound like they are killing each other

My guys (11 weeks old) play rough with each other. Is this normal or is it something I should stop. They have more toys than I did as a kid but mostly they just want to kick the crap out of one another. They will play with me and a toy and then just start biting one another. If I get on all fours they will chase and bite each other all around me. They do not bite me and seem to enjoy the play(?) fighting. Should I be concerned? Also my Monty (rough and tumble cat) has decided he wants to play with the dogs. This usually ends with them getting
( ) on thier heads! How do I socialize the dogs with my three cats? HELP!

My Sienna does the exact same thing. It doesn't happen all the time but when it does I just can't stop laughing. She will take a toy and drop it in front of me. If I'm not paying attention she will bust out with the Chewbaca impersonation.
That sure gets my attention.

I actually was just questioning this to my husband today! My 13 week old does this when she plays. And it was starting to freak me out! She sounds so serious, she lunges for me but always stops before she catches me. This makes me feel so much better about the situation!

My Cassie girl sounds like the offspring of Chewbaca and the Tasmanian Devil-ette, with maybe a little wolverine or badger and grizzly bear way back in the family tree!
