She kills a lot of critters in the back yard (we have a dog door, so she can go chase them whenever she wants) but surprisingly never disembowels them (and rarely eats them too). I don’t get it.
She does “kill” her toys the same way she kills critters- grabbing them by the head and shaking them as hard as she possibly can.
Looks and sounds like lab behavior. Though I’m sure other dogs do the same. I had a lab mix growing up that was great at catching just about everything, but got bored once they stopped moving.
Dogs disembowel their toys because that’s what they would do to an animal in the wild in order to get to the meaty goodness inside.
