Credit to my fiance with a special interest in evolutionary biology and the history of human domestication of other species (and who is also currently HIGH AS HELL).
I 'm sorta doubting it. I know some dogs have this inherent tendency -like a Labrador. But no doubt they’ve been selectively bred for that behavior over centuries. We have GSD’s that will retrieve as part of their prey drive. They want to chase and catch. They love frisbee. But it’s often quite a process to get them to understand the bringing back part. Once they understand it facilitates another chase they will be dependable retrievers. But that sometimes takes a lot of repetition. “No take. Only throw!”
