Should I be Concerned??

Thanks for the help. In answer to your questions, he usually mouths during play, like fetch, or when he has been play fighting with Stella. Fender is just over 4 months old right now. Applesmom, I totally agree with the idea it might be retrieving instinct. Infact, tonight he was the most enthusiastic I've seen him while playing fetch.

He thinks its perfectly acceptable, so just ignore him when he does this. Once he realizes he doesn't get anything from you, he'll stop it. Its a play maneuver with his puppy friends, and an attention getting behavior for you. Remove the attention and you remove the unwanted behavior.
