Funny, my 15 week old Boykin Spaniel puppy does not drop the tennis ball, but drops paint rollers and all other elongated bumpers. I'd say the tennis ball thing applies to dogs with elongated mouths, like Standard Poodles, Labs, and German Short Hair Pointers. The Boykin Spaniel has a short mouth, hence she has better control with the ball for now. Once I teach her the hold command and she is good at it, then I will switch off the tennis ball and use the standard sized bumpers. Bear in mind right now she is maybe 14 pounds max but will grow to 22-27 pounds.

Do you find a difference in a tan bumper and an orange bumper; besides the obvious color.
