is alfie crossed with a crocodile ?

alfie loves playing tug of war with me with anything we can both get a grip on, but if i lift him up so his back legs are on the floor with front legs off he will flip himself round like a crocodile doing a death roll, i know its because he is trying to get me to let go but ive never seen a dog do it before, does anyone elses?

i dont do tug of war anymore with my because they just end up making to much noise

Molly's like this, she also pauses and regains her energy, before thrashing around again.

Ha ha, same here, although I can't hold her up for long anymore she's too heavy.

il post a video i have got of him doing it, he also used to do a really strange thing when he was younger but hasnt done it for a while now were i walk him gets really boggy so there are alot of rieds, he used to run at them flip over and land in them on his back??? im sure hes had a knock to the head bless him

No there just mental, except there mental age is '0'

this is after about half an hour so hes knackerd lol

Aww, nice! Yer thats what mine does too!

ha ha!! thats ace!!! he is so clever to do that!!! lol

I try to avoid playing tuggy tug as i call it with Harley as he's so strong he's likely to land me on my big fat a**e. But the times i have he does the same thing, i think it's how they try to gain more power.

Its a typical trait and many do it the jaw power is phenominal for the dogs size thats why toys dont last very long
