Yup they do. I've seen a friend's Springer beat another friend's Lab to the dummy thrown by the Lab guy; both great, well trained dogs.

Not to HJ Steve's thread, but this little story doesn't warrant its own. This afternoon I had Pete, my young Pointer, out at the Richland County Club searching for any pheasants missed by the morning pack. Pete located one in the rushes at the edge of the 10 acre fishing pond. For the past three days we have had a strong thaw with a lot of rain yesterday; it's now about 20 degrees f. I thought, when that bird goes, it'll be over the pond and I'll probably put it down on the ice. That's what happened. There was 6 to 8 feet of water between the shore and the ice shelf, and Pete was dancing back and forth about 20 yards one way and the other trying to figure out how to get to that bird 60 or 70 yards away. He took a leap to the edge of the ice, skitterred to his feet and skid-trotted to the bird, picked it up, still flopping, brought it back to the edge of the ice and jumped to shore. Now I'm afraid the little SOB is going to think he can walk on water.

That reminds me of the story of the guy who had a Lab who could walk on water; many of you have heard it, so I'll repeat it only on request.
