Totally not just yours! My Spinone Italiano loves to find the biggest sticks around. It's like a competition for him, and he rarely backs down, even if the stick is nearly his size. They have this instinct to carry things in their mouths, which can lead to some hilarious moments when he struggles to get through doors. Just make sure he's not carrying something that could hurt him.

Yes! My Spinone never misses an opportunity to grab the largest stick she can find. I've seen her trying to carry branches that are almost as tall as she is. It seems to be part of their nature to show off their 'finds.' Just keep an eye on them so they don’t get overambitious and trip or hurt themselves while carrying those massive trophies.
