She absolutely LOVES the pivot spin, the mark, the send, and especially the GLOVE in the directed retrieve. Those are both obedience exercises, but to her it's just a really fun game to play. She also has high prey and pack drives and has always had a strong natural retrieve. I think that's the difference, not the breed.
