The bitch that i've just got rid of wouldn't retrieve, in the house or out on walks she'd retrieve balls, sticks, socks anything you name it she'd bring it back and place it in your hand or in your lap. She'd do 40 foot retieves outta the sea and she'd do all of this as long as you'd keep throwing things. Perfect i thought, i've got this whole retrieving thing pegged, took her out and it was all forgotten, she'd run around with it in her mouth, kill it and leave it, i tried everything imagineable with this bitch and nothing worked, so now she lives a life on me sisters sofa, lazy twat.
