I've got a lab that lives to play ball in the backyard. Her strange quirk is that when she retrieves it she runs past me and then circles around and comes up from behind me? She can't just bring the ball back and put it down. Strange dog.
Same here, he`s just now learning to let me have it back so I can throw it again.
When I feed him , he just about goes nuts, he gets really excited about food, he`ll make at least 2 circles around the yard, run and slide into , and knock stuff over , funny as all get out, unless its me he runs in to !
I think he may be a little shy of a few marbles from being starved when he was a pup. I feed him half again as much as I do my Rottweiler , its taken about 3 yrs to get some meat on his bones! He sure thinks a lot of me tho----
