I took these videos the other day and I wanted you guys to check them out, because I was wondering if this is how your pug/pugs behave around other dogs.
I'm asking because these two dogs (my dog lumie, and my mother in laws dog betsey) have had three play dates with other dogs of similar size, and all three have ended rather quickly. In there defense the first two dogs weren't as social or energetic as they are. I thought the most recent attempt would work out, and it most definetly didn't.
Here are some videos of them playing outside, inside, and doing their best attempt at training. They honestly will play like this for *at least* 3 straight hours before they get tired and start to slow down.
Are these the two craziest Pugs in existence, or is this the norm? Here are the direct links:

Please ignore my big butt and the goofy background conversation in the outside vids.![]()
Wow, they really are well matched in energy and playfulness! Very cute to watch.
My pugs are 4 and 5 years old, so while they play sometimes, not as much as your two. How old are they?

Those videos were actually taken on Betsey's 1st birthday, and Lumie is almost 8 months old.
They were introduced when Lumie was just 8 weeks old, and they have been playing nearly every single day since Lumie was around 16 weeks. They usually play for around 1-2 hours a day, and if they don't see each other they are both a mess! I never knew that two dogs could be such great friends before I saw these two. They really do love each other. You can't even say the word Betsey in my house without Lumie going completely crazy! So when we talk about her we simply call her "B". It's only a matter of time before Lumie figures that out too.![]()

Looks like Zeus, Hera, and Apollo playing (3,2 and 10-months of age).
Normal silly Pug behavior!

Thanks for the kind words. They really are a lot of fun to watch and play with. The best of all is when they play frisbee together. I'll have to take a video of that sometime soon.
Pretty typical for two young dogs that have grown up together. Now, if they play in the same way (right in each others faces, jumping all over each other) with new dogs, especially new adult dogs, I'm not surprised things don't go well. It's totally appropriate for dogs that know each other and for puppies to play like that, but generally as a rule adult dogs find that *very* rude.
I need to tape my crew at the park!

Yeah, I figured that might be the case.
They are actually quite a bit calmer to the other dogs, but they are still going crazy with each other, and the other dog doesn't seem to like that one bit.
A friend of my wife just got a new Shih Tzu puppy, and we were hoping to get them introduced while the pup is still young. I figured this way it would be used to my crazy girls and would enjoy playing like they do.
I'd love to see your crew going nuts at the park.
