Today I came home from school and I saw my dog ginger.
She look so cute so I gave her a treat!
I told her to sit and than jump and out of no where she dose a back flip!
I couldn't believe it.
I did the same route and she did it again!
Has any one heard something like this?

Mine consider back flips as rolling over to get belly rubs :rolleyes:

Ginger sounds adorable have we seen pics? or did I just miss them?

I doubt either of my dogs could. They are both to big to try it.

Tango does that all the time while playing frisbee. She's the only dog I've had so far that can though.

Rebel does them all the time while catching his frisbee.... Riley on the other hand, does not. She likes to keep her feet planted to the ground most of the time and only reaches out and leaps to catch the frisbee...

I've only known one dog that did back flips. It was my friend's dog and was a bc mix.

King, a GSD couldn't, or never did. He wasn't even much of a jumper, except to pounce up for affection. He looked so awkward when i finally taught him sit pretty. He couldn't do it with out a bit of support though. I don't think he could have done a back flip even if he tried.

Miss Koli Husky though has done it twice while in foster care. Once long time ago when chasing a bumble bee. (I forgot about that until i ran across the post about it two nights ago. Then she did it again a few days ago, but i forget what she was doing.
