To test my Shepherd mix I used a slightly different trick. I would put a tennis ball in a plastic bag and tie it in there. Then I would cut the handles. I would toss it around the backyard, throwing it underhand, skipping it accross the lawn. She would chase it and bring it back. She loved it! Unfortunately, my Greyhound will only chase it until it stops moving. He will look at it a moment and then run around the yard on his own. ;-) Randwulf

Some of them course like mad things, some could care less. They have a typically "toy" head, more of a roached topline, and a greater leg-to-length of back ratio than the big greys. > > I figured as much.
