One is an adolescent (socially inept!) male, the black dog is a young female who generally has good social skills. Cain unfortunately puts a lot of dogs on edge due to his mixed signals that he seems to send out. Kiki was indeed a little wary of Cain, mostly because Cain is too full on in his play. This interaction peaked with Cain jumping far too hard on Kiki, Kiki corrected him with a short sharp telling off, at which point Cain slunk off in a sulk and refused to play with Kiki any more. However this is still probably Cain's most successful doggy interaction to date

In the next 2 pictures the GSP, Cassie, is a dog I was contemplating adopting before I had Jessie. The pictures were taken when we were introducing the dogs. As usual, Flynn is far from welcoming and would rather she just did one!
The last one is a completely unimpressed Flynn of course!

Looks like adolescent boy play to me. Might see some Humping going on, possibly quite vocal as well.
Borderline 'play', I would be watching it very carefully to make sure it did not push over the edge to a scuffle.
The pics above - new dogs, will/should we play?
Something has caught the attention of the two smaller ones, maybe a dog? squirrel?
Shame its so slidy here, I can think of a good one but getting there and the photos of them.....
