Kate:
My 2 year old Grace seems to have a really good retrieve for just
about anything, which makes her a very good candidate for obedience. I
understand that this is fairly rare in berners, but Grace will retrieve
"fetch" just about anything, although the aluminum scent articles are her
least favorite.
If you haven't gotten into the sport of obedience, you might want to
give it a try as it sounds as if Jet likes to please you as evidence his
willingness to retrieve.
I say, willingness to retrieve, because my 4 year old Ty loves to
please, but sees no earthly reason to retrieve something I've "thrown away".
Gracie Poo loves to run and, after a little training, started returning
whatever I've threw.
Good luck with Jet, as he seems you have a great companion even if
you do not pursue obedience.
