Just a question

Ok so my younger siblings came and stayed the night at my house tonight and brought their 9 1/2wk old poodle that I bought my parents last week with them. She's about 1lb smaller then Silver and she likes to play way rougher then Silver. Like Silver will pounce on her and make her fall then Peaches(poodle) will like start biting Silver and Silver will just roll over and takes it. Is that normal? It's like she doesn't want to fight back so she just takes the abuse lol.

Joey's had to get use to my sons new puppies, and yes, puppies play way rougher. Joey had to learn to hold his own ground with them especially as the puppies grew. I didn't interfere when Joey barked at them and finally they learned to play and wrestle in a way they both enjoyed. Try to get together as much as possible, and they will soon be friends, it will also help Silver to become more socialized.

Sounds like how Jackson (15lbs) and Nala (6lbs) play.... she's constantly on her back, and comes back for me, and Jackson is making growly noises and 'biting' at her neck, etc. It's kind of a terrier way of playing too.
