My Rowdy (Austrailian Cattle Dog) is now 11 years old, and still will not chase a ball. As a matter of fact, I never saw him play with anything until he was around the Yorkie puppies, and he will play with them, getting on the floor and making himself as low as he can to be at their level. But he also gets bored with that pretty quick.
I used to buy him toys, which he ignored. I threw the ball and he looked at me like he thought I was crazy. If I wanted the ball, I could just go get it myself. He was nearly 3 when I got him, so I have figured that he never had a chance to play when he was a pup. |
