New Pup is Home! Curious about something...

We brought our pup home on Thursday. Things are going very well, a few accidents, not a ton of sleep but that is to be expected. I'll post some pictures up later this weekend.

I do have a question however - When the pup is retrieving a toy or bumper, some times he charges it hard and just grabs it and other times he walks up to it very slowly like he is stalking it and then he pounces on it, almost like a cat.

I am not concerned about it at all, he's only 8 weeks old after all. I was just curious if anyone had any insight.


Thanks,
Joe

Take a lot of video. You will be glad you did.

My pup did the exact same thing. It is so funny to watch. He seems to have grown out of it now as he is 6 months. I wouldn't be concerned at all, the pup is still unsure of everything. Once he build some confidence up he'll be fine. My dog now charges at dummies and toys with great drive.
