Rolling

Just a quick question does anyone else staffy find the smellest dead things to roll in i.e rabbitts etc. Mista does and Lulu does ohs mums dog but missy dosnt i just dont understand why they do it and they have the biggest grin on their face while doing it

Jade loves having a roll after a long run. Shes never rolled in a dead rabbit though!!!

Jadey generally rolls in grass in the shade to cool down. See below!!!

Roxy loves rolling around the floor it makes me laugh, she never rolls in the mud or anything dead though!! Lol!

Those with a higher prey instinct tend to do this. It can be a dead animal or a pile of poo... they basically try to cover their own scent which gives them a better chance of getting close to prey without being detected.

We have a pond and regularly have a frog or 2 die on the grass beside it and Kane will roll on them as well as anything with fox scent on it or a dead bird. Haven't come across anything else dead but I'm sure he would roll in anything dead.

diesel loves to roll around especially after me hoovering my carpet in the hall and he is always smileing when doing it....... thats when i know all the hard worth training him and everything else was worth while when you see that smile

glad to hear that its not my dog that does this. Mista will on living carpet everyone morning when he wakes up which is funny its the smell after hes rolled in something dead.

Tess only rolls on the carpet or the grass, never rolled on anything dead

Yazmin only rolls on her back when she's wanting Angel to play with her lol Its like "look at me, I'm all submissive" then when Angel comes over Yazmin pounces on her & they start wrestling lol Angel falls for it every time lol
But no they have never rolled on anything dead, but then they haven't actually been around anything dead though.

Its mainly rabbitts that they roll on that foxes have left up the field where they are walked. It could be at the opposite side of the field and they will run at full pelt to roll in it

Bonnie rolls in the grass on her back and makes a funny noise, she also gives herself mud baths. Max doesnt really though.

Murdoch rolls - mainly on my bed, mainly after we get back from a walk. He makes a whole range of funny noises when he does it too. He sounds a little bit like a wookie, but slightly higher pitched. Not sure what it means, but I think he sounds happy!
