I recently bought back a 7 month old blm that I sold as a 8 week old pup. The dog has a ton of go but had no training except is house broke and toys thrown for it. It goes crazy for bumpers but I took a wing clipped pidgeon and he wanted to bark at it and lay down beside it. Then a few days later I got him reved up and through a mallard for him and he runs out to it and wants to roll on it. I did get him to retrieve the duck from water but the next day on land he wanted to roll on it again. Just wandering how to proceed from here?
 
may understanding and experience is rolling on the bird is not uncommon for a puppy that has had little or no birds. Make sure you do not throw old, beat up birds for him.

My CLM did this too at about that age and I have never seen it since.
