Is this a staffy thing?

When my dog Milo is running/playing he'll randomly just start rolling on the ground, it's so funny to watch. The thing is he's not actually rolling in anything, sometimes he's mid run and he just goes into a roll then starts rubbing his back on the ground. He only ever does it on walks and usually when he starts getting tired, I have a friend who has a staffy and he also does this although my mates with other breeds of dog only ever roll in disgusting things like poo

So is this a staffy thing? Or is my dog just weird? (could be both )

Had to include some pics of my crazy lunatic doing his thing!

Bug does this too! It's usually when she's running too fast and seems to throw herself onto the floor and skid along to slow down? She will also throw herself on the floor and roll around randomly, especially when it's sunny. When I worked in kennels, I did notice that staffies did this much more than other breeds.

Yes thats the exact behaviour! I wonder why they do it!!

Katy is ALWAYS rolling on our walks, sometimes she runs like crazy & throws herself on the floor, other times she just drops & rolls. It can be nothing or fox poo or even dead bodies (ranging from mice to worms) But they certainly like to roll

Yes they do! It's so funny when they do it mid run, I can't help but laugh at him every time, staffys are such goofy dogs hahaha

Misty throws herself on the floor and has a good old roll around in the house quite a bit. She doesn't do it on walks (yet!)

Yep Milo too - he will actually somersault on walkies - makes people laugh, and iof there's a hill he will actually roll down the hill or slide on his belly. Staffy exhuberance and love of life !

Mia loves to scratch her back on my carpet

Emma- Hahaha you're lucky it's just in the house, it's alright when it's not been raining but when it has i come home with a half staffy half chocolate labrador

Jenny- Snap, I've got a Milo too! Love your avatar pic by the way, it's so sweet! Hahahaha thats too funny, staffys are so crazy!

Crystal- Hahaha, does she rub her face on it too and rub till she gets to her back? My boy does that on our carpet outside my bedroom every morning!

The top of her head her side then her back and moans as to say ahh then she rolls on her stomach looks at me and tilts her head to the side can I get a biscuit for being good mum. So funny

I have a video of bella doing this she does it all the time i assumed she liked the feeling lol

sash normally does this after she's had her dinner,its like her way of saying she's satisfied

Quiet clearly I have an odd Staffy as Flo doesn't do this at all

Hahahaha! I'm glad I'm not the only one with a crazy pooch

Ian- you probably have a sane staffy while the rest of us have nutters
