Is she an ex breeding bitch?  If so she's probably never ever played with another dog in her life - her only interaction would be for mating so I can see why she just doesn't 'get' Floyd and his play....

It takes a long while for a rescue dog to settle in and I agree with Nic's posts 100 percent  ;)

Take a deep breath - they are finding their feet with one another. Nicola's advice is spot on.
We rescued Dylan last year and there are definite sparring sessions sorting out their pecking order. Only this morning Dylan was growling at Toby.
On the whole we let them get on with it and the next minute they are ksing one another.
Good luck and you will all be fine I am sure

Aww Leanne, I hope she is ok  :luv: Honestly my two as much as they play great together, Alfie does have lots of 'go's' at Lenny throughout the day. It is just them getting used to eachother I am sure, and learning eachothers boundaries. In our house Lenny has none  :005: but Alfie likes his stuff to be just his  ::) Maybe Floyd having words back with her may make her think twice. Keep your chin up, I am sure they will setlle down soon  :-*
