It is kind of sad when they grow past that "play with everyone" stage. Shanoa only has a few dog friends that she'll play with.
Oh noI really hope Juno doesn't grow up too fast!
Maybe your boy will find a friend to play with soon.
Yeah, for a while Vegas hasn't been as playful with other dogs either. When we have a playdate she explores by herself or visits with people, but really doesn't play with the dogs. I do miss naughty wrestling puppy Vegas, but she's such a wonderful adult I think I'll get over it, lol.

My experience has been it can go either way.It would be really interesting to hear if this is pretty common or not..

Connor will be 5 on Oct. 6-he LOVES playing with girlies anytime, anywhere. He's even shown every indication he'd play well with some males, although i choose to pass on him doing that.
I've owned bitches who just weren't interested in interacting with dogs outside of their own pack. I've owned bitches who were social butterflies, and played well with any dog.
Yeah! Hey, I don't think we've seen pictures of that handsome redhead lately, I think his fans need a little somethingOkay, well that is good information. Thanks! I love Connor, be still my heart.
Flirt will still play but not as much as usual, however she's dog friendly and will hang out with dogs just fine. I'd say she plays with about 60% of the boarders we get. She, nor any of my dogs, are allowed to resource guard. I'm ok with them lying between us but they better not give me or them attitude.IMy goofy puppy is totally gone and I have a no nonsense male doberman now. He will still be goofy with us but only us and if strange dogs are around he is all business. He isn't aggressive but he doesn't want to have anything to do with other dogs. I thought it was weird that he wouldn't even fetch at their house and that is what his world is about. The sweet lab girl was fetching but he wouldn't take a turn. I have never owned a dog who changed so much from puppy to mature male. Eli was neutered at 10 months but he still has doberman attitude. He held himself high when we went to my friends and their dogs did not mob him or anything. They basically ignored him. Whatever Eli...LOL. He didn't want that lab by his mama or dad. He was lying between us. The people he was fine with, not overly fawning but friendly enough. Such a change. Boy was I off the mark, I guess play dates are long past.

And as far as playing with mom/dad and ball, etc. it doesn't matter who has the ball or where we are...it's ON.
