How does everyone's Bulldogs play together? I feel as though ours play pretty rough with each other however they both always go back for more[emoji39]. Is this just normal bully play?

Yes. Mine are very rough with each other. Most would think they're fighting.

Bella plays extremely hard. There is a lot of wrestling, spittle, grunting. It's awesome to see!

Mine do all of the time! They love biting each others cheeks. We give them little time outs sometimes when they get too "ruff". Lol

Yes mine play like they are killing each other. The growls, grunts and slamming into each other would send most running for the hills. We just turn up the volume on the tv! I do give them a "calm down" command if i think they are getting too revved up. It's funny though, because if they have a small toy that they are playing with, they will slow down enough to gently take it out of the others mouth, so as not to grab a lip or face!

Mine used to play HARD in the morning, and at night before bed. No matter how loud I put the TV,I couldn't hear it. If anyone ever came in here at those times,they would quickly leave. It sounded like a horrible dog fight-3 growling and wrestling. Lizzie doesn't get into it-she gets angry if something hurts!! I miss their wrestling matches,as now they have grown up too much, I guess.

Well, I only have one bully, Winnie, but I have two other dogs. She plays really rough with Jack and Gus. They sometimes sound like they're killing each other--lots of barking, growling and rolling around. Yep, when they start, there's no hearing the TV. Now that I have Gus, sometimes when they get too riled up, I put him in the crate for a time out. He's really starting to bark and growl and show his teeth, and he looks even more like a chupacabra than ever!

Love it when they do the turkey leg move and try to grab each others legs. Mine play hard too. Lots of grunting, head butting, etc.

Question for you. When you worked at the day care was there ever more then one bully there and if so did they play like that and how did other non bully dogs react?

Very few bulldogs came in and the ones that did usually were there on different days. what is interesting is, most of the Bulldogs that did come would not really interact with the other dogs, they were 'wallflowers' and just like to watch except for two of the... they wanted to just rough house with all the dogs, so we placed them in with the smallers dogs and they would nicely interact. Also since we would have 50-100 dogs a day, rough play was discouraged and we would take the hyper dogs for a walk around the building to get some energy out to avoid fights.
