Does your sheepie play hide and seek?

Out on our walk this morning in one of the fields we use, there are a couple of trees, as we neared them Archie ran over to one and hide behind it as I went one way or the other to get him, he just kept walking sideways around it, to keep out of my view, it was very funny he kept it up for about 20 minutes, anyone elses play games like that?

Now that shows far more intelligence than anyone currently here. Our Sam the Pyr played that game :lol: He also believed if he put a bucket over his head we couldn't find him.
Bella doesn’t play it out side but will play hide and seek in the house. Her favorite game is to go get a toy and peek around the corner to see if we are looking then turn and run into the dinning room. If we follow her she will hide under the dinning room table until we get close then race around the table or run back up to her perch on the landing. If we ignore her she will start by dropping the toy onto the hardwood floors to get our attention. If the toy doesn’t make enough noise she will give it up and go get the hard nylabone which does clatter when dropped. She started this with socks and other no-no's but now peeks around the corner to show us that it is one of her toys.
Not a chance. :lol:
The standing joke at our house is that Chewie never gets 1o feet away from me...never mind hiding!
Archie is so funny!

My hubby and I played "hide and seek" with our first sheepie, Quincy. I would hide upstairs while Angelo diverted Quincy's attention. Then he would say "Where'd she go?". While Quincy would run around trying to find me, Angelo would hide, and we'd go back and forth until our sheepie got bored. :)

When we first got Oscar, I briefly considered playing our game with him. Very briefly. With a deaf dog, his whole life is pretty much "hide and seek" when you're not in the room with him.

Better still video :lol:
I tried to get a video today, soon as the phone came out he refused to play ball (well H&S) probably as he doesn't have an equity card? :lol:
The wigglebums play hide & seek with each other, but not with me. There is a line of Leyland Cypress trees in the back yard. Their standard game consists of one of them on each side of the trees. They start running down the tree line and the one on the outside stops somewhere along the way hiding behind a tree. The dog on the inside has to find the hidden one. This goes on for a long time pretty much every afternoon. :P
Mine do when the hairdryer and towels come out. They take off and hide and are selectively deaf so I have to then Seek the lil monsters out for a bath. :roll: :lol: :lol:
My first sheepie Duffy loved to play hide and seek. We lived on a farm and he thought that the barn was specifically for that game! Baley and Baxter play it in the house and sound like elephants upstairs as they run to hide! It must be in the genes! :D
Bert loves hide and seek. He practices his "stay." Although he is not very good. When he was a tiny puppy I would stand on the toilet and he would look in the bathroom, check the tub but always forget to look up. :lol:
Only at bath time. :lol:
Our first sheepie, BRANDON would sit/stay and I'd hide and then he'd find ME. It was great fun.

My apartment was small, but I'd take him to school and play in the halls (on the weekends when it was deserted). My husband worked at a factory that shut down on weekends and there were great places to hide there (in the office sections only for safety sake). It was a blast.

The other kind of hide and seek (they hide - we seek) only ever happens around here at bath time or when the nail clippers come out.
Ben plays hide and seek.
With toys, we have him sit in a corner. We show him the toy and then walk through othr parts of the house. When we release him, he will follow the "path" I took to the toy. I've never been sure if he is following my scent or the toys' scent though.
And he will do the same thing to track me down.
Bally loves hide and seek! But he has to make sure we take turns :lol: he'll come find you and then it's your job to chase him around the yard like a lunatic until he's tired, then it's his turn to hide and chase you around :D
Ru is like Chewie, he is never more than 1 foot away from me, he can't even be in the next room, unless he's crated then he knows he's in there for a reason.

We play 'search and rescue' where I hide under the duvet and he digs me out :lol:
^^^^^^ LOL - that is hilarious! ^^^^^^

I'll have to try that one. :D
Bert that story of you on the toilet and Bert not finding you made me laugh out loud :lol:

That would have been our dogs too. But, 2 yrs ago we got Maggie - a coonhound. She is a hunting girl, and she ALWAYS looks up at things, because coons are in trees. It was pretty entertaining when we 1st got her. Now we can't hide, as she has taught all our dogs to look up! Even Simon the basset hound :wink:
