Playing for sure! When Tank is actually playful (rarely happens anymore...old man :)) he is SO noisy! It sounds much like growling but it's all with playful gestures. I think it's a bulldog thing, they just get terribly noisy when they play. It's always nice to play referee though...sometimes they play but because of their size and how much weight they throw around with those big feet....it can get out of hand. LOL

Wow! If you thin THAT is rough and noisy--you haven't seen/heard my girls. Your boys seemed sweet and gentle to me!

Thanks everyone.

Neither Chris nor I have ever had two dogs before. In fact, neither one of us even had a dog before we got Blue.
And bulldogs do not play like other dogs at the dog park..lol... All new territory for us.

:yes: they are playing. If it was fighting you will know it. The growl becomes fierce.

I agree with others they are just playing, Bulldozer and Blossom play like this as well, and they grunt and make the same noises, it definitely sounds like they are fighting, but they are really just jumping on each other, and the noises come from them exerting themselves, the same as they would if they were running outside. I have to watch my guys for panting when they play too rough, then I will separate them, and make them lie down for a while.
