The white mixed breed female puppy runs toward the male Poodle puppy and exhibits a leap forward with paws wide open; the male puppy bows, then moves away at a run, followed by the female puppy, who attempts a bite to his hindquarters. The Poodle puppy seeks support from a person, turns his head towards the female puppy, lowers his tail and hunches his back; the female puppy bites him with an inhibited bite to the neck, then knocks him down. The Poodle puppy remains on the ground, and the female puppy stands over him with her tail arched and again exhibits an inhibited bite. When the puppy tries to get up, she presses him down again and stands over him. The Poodle puppy pushes her away with his paws, and exhibits an open mouth display. The female puppy swerves away, exhibits a leap with paws wide open, a bow with paws wide open, then barks and finally leaps forward twice and exhibits inhibited biting. The interaction between the two puppies is interrupted by a male smooth-coated Border Collie and an adult mixed breed female. The two puppies interact with the male, then shake off.
