different breed dogs

hi people my little Bree struggles to get along with my mother older dog. i have a staffie and my mother has a big lab x poddle 3years. they can get along at times. example there happy being walked together but sometimes bree (1year) jumps up at my mums dog and nibbles on his ear i shout oii and packit in and she happily leaves him jumps into bed is this playing and my mothers dogs just boring and grumpy or is my bree to lively?

whats your thoughts?

oh and anyone live in ashford fancy a meet up with the dogs she needs to be more social

She is possibly just too lively for your mums dog. some dogs just do't like others to be too lively around them or jump up at them, so try to stop her before she gets to the point of jumping up at your mothers dog.

Also, post a little intro here : https://staffy-bull-terrier.niceboard.com/f7-new-member-introductions

Staffs are VERY lively as we know, and Labs and Poodles - maybe not quite so (esp. Lab). Plus Bree is still a pup and your mum's dog is not, so perhaps he does get a bit fed up at times.

They'll probably settle down as Bree grows up, but meantime just steer her clear (as you are doing) when she gets a bit over-venturesome.

Oh and welcome to this site, you could not have come to a better place for a chat - we don't always agree with each other but we always try our best!

Sounds like she is trying to iniate play and the other dog just isn't interested.

Tommy will regularly do this to Tilly , she has her times when she's not interested and moves away for some quiet and other times she will give it back so depends on the dogs really . And Tilly will on occasions pounce on Tommy when he's not looking but he's always up for a rough n tumble with her
