Great captures, Larry! My retriever, Snickers, only onetime in her life actually retrieved instead of playing "keep-away"!

Thanks Douglas.
In these photos Vegas is only about 4 months old. She is 3 years old now and has earned several titles for tracking. She has to follow a "scent track" that goes along grass, dirt, as well as pavement and the track includes several turns,...even on pavement (very difficult). There are items along the way that she has to find and give to the her handler without hesitation. At the end of her "track" there is an item which tells her she has completed her task.
She is quite good at this "game" and loves to play. HOWEVER.....she is also quite good at the "keep away" game, but only with me. She loves to play this game with me because she knows she can wrestle with me when we play "tug-o-war" with her toys. Somehow she can distinguish between "working" and "playing" and loves to play both. She "works" with mommy and "plays" with me.
