We'd toss a stick and the dog would run out to where it landed,
and run back to us without the stick.

We'd walk over, pick up the stick, and toss it again.

We finally realized the dog had us doing the fetching!

was a German shepherd/husky cross. She lived to fetch: a Frisbee (on land or in the water), a stick, a stuffed animal, a ball, a rubber Kong, you name it. She'd do it all day and you could see the satisfaction in her face. She'd literally drop the item at your feet and then wait for you to throw it again -- no tug of war.

Our current dog, a German shepherd/English mastiff cross, could not care less when you toss an object. He'll look up and watch it land in the distance, and then he'll resume his sniffing, rolling in the grass or chewing on a bone. He's great in so many ways, a real gentle giant, but he's such a contrast from our old girl in that respect.
