    Our now 22 week old puppy has been doing this with our senior dog as well since about 9 weeks and same thing, senior dog doesn't do anything just lets him take it. However, Oakley will get it and most of the time will take it to older dog for him to grab the other half.

    I expect that you engaging with one of your other dogs and not her, is much more interesting than what she is doing, also when she does steal a toy, you immediately give her the attention she probably wants. :) At this stage, I would be giving your dogs separate playtime, and training sessions, to prevent any annoying habits and behaviours developing as the little one matures, stoic dogs are quite as stoic when the little pup gets a bit bigger and even more annoying plus with sharp bitey teeth!
