Some dogs were observed to prioritise retrieving an inaccessible toy over consuming food or interacting with their human companions. Researchers found that a very high attachment to toys was linked to traits such as being easily motivated, difficulty calming down, and reduced daytime sleep. Breed groups used for sport or work, particularly shepherd-type breeds, showed the highest levels of these toy-related tendencies. While strong motivation can be advantageous for specific working roles, extreme levels of toy fixation are warned to potentially affect a dog's welfare.
