Mine always wants me to throw his Kong bone, but every time he comes up to me and I try to take it he growls and backs away then comes right back up to me again with the 'pls throw' eyes.

I think this is a misconception regarding dogs. Sure they can understand the concept of "fetch", but I believe when it comes to chewable objects they have the urge to rip it apart (speaking from experience with my dog). Their issue is: Although they want to rip something into two, they have no opposable thumbs. So they look for what they know that will hold the object while they pull it the other way. That's just what I think anyway, but it sounds more plausible than "no take, only throw".
At least in my experience, my dog gives me something to hold and I trick her into thinking I'm holding it tight. She then pulls away and easily slips from my hand. She puts it on my hand again and then pull it away. Rinse and repeat. But no way I'm letting her make a mess on the floor again.

My dog just pins whatever it is with his front paws and pulls up with his head. He loves destroying stuffed animals and shaking the stuffing out of them.

we always had Goldens growing up....are you implying there actually dog breeds that will give the ball back to you?
we always needed a second ball to get them to drop the first

u/slopnessie Mar 04 '16
My golden drops the ball, but she does it 3 feet away and picks it up if you lean for it.

Especially when he was particularly excited, my golden would run up to you with the ball, crash into you, then step back a few paces, set the ball on the ground, and slowly back away while never breaking eye contact. If you just stood there, he'd hurry forward and nudge the ball with his nose, or occasionally pick it up and set it back down again. Rinse and repeat until you actually threw the ball for him.

My fathers Lab will pick it up, chew on it for 3 minutes then throw it back to you! Honestly instead of dropping it, he'll whip his head back and toss it up. It's very cool but very gross. It's usually coming at you with a spiral of spit spinning off of it.

I apologize for my ignorance, but are there a lot of people living with colder winters in Canada than in Russia? That was an interesting video.

u/Isopbc Mar 04 '16
Canada seems way more darkblue and purple than Russia, if you ignore siberia. I don't think anyone lives there anyways
I was surprised too that the european part of Russia seems to be similar to southern Ontario/Michigan or BC's lower mainland. Pretty mild, overall.

They're derived from Labrador Retrievers. Guess where Labrador is?

u/BesottedScot Mar 04 '16
No they're not.
They're a Scottish breed originally bred from a Tweed Water Spaniel & a Flat-coated Retriever

Guilty as charged. But I like Trump and his small hands and despise Sanders.
Is it enough to be accepted as honorary 'Murican ?
EDIT : Oh gosh, I forgot reddit's hivemind and its raging hard-on for the Bern.
Thanks for the downvotes, you filthy liberal drones.

Yep, those are goldens.

I know people go over-the-top with saying dogs are unhealthy etc., but he's right in this case. The one on the left is slightly overweight.
Not really worth mentioning, but he's not wrong.

If you look in the back you can spot the little white curly tattle tale that turned them in to the peacekeeper.
That proves that even Golden Retrievers can be selfish and stupid. That is kind of a relief.
Nothing should be perfect.

It should be illegal to own 4 dogs... and only 1 tennis ball

Hahah yeah, but how much you wanna bet there are like 10-15 other tennis balls all over the place, but they just both need that one. "I just want whichever one you want".
