Is this normal?

[pina s]

i have a 1 1/2 yr old male neutered golden retriever and a 3 month old female jackrussel. the golden sometimes when there playing goes over to the female and trys to grab her by the back of her neck, he doen't seem to be hurting her and there waging there tails when there playling but when her tries to grab her neck is her trying to hurt her or is he just playing around?

its normal. i've had five dogs all at once and i've shown dogs in competions. Its a natural habit. if the one being picked up yelps though then u need to stop it. But that shouldn't happen

He's showing that he's the dominant dog. The "Alpha Male" as they say.

he's playing. if she doesnt cry, dont worry. she'll yelp if it hurts.
