Cheri, My young buddy Tank is the same! Sticks or balls, it doesn't matter. In fact, we bait him in the ring with a small superball. He is much more attentive to it than he is to treats! I learned something from the co-breader of this litter which I never knew. If a dog doesn't learn to fetch when it's a puppy, it will never have any interest in it.
