My golden retriever does this routine where she picks up a toy and
parades around the house with it while making a sort of growling sound
every time someone comes over. It's really funny to watch. Has
anyone else observed this behavior? I'd like to know what it means
and why she does it.

Barney does this when he's all excited about getting a new toy. He struts
around the house holding his head high and making noises as if to
say........see my new toy.........LOL

They are truely funny in some of the things they do.

"Presenting" is very common, although the growling is less so.
When someone comes home my dog usually rushes around looking
for something to present. The other dogs I've had did it too,
but less consistently.

I'm not too sure what's in the dog's mind. My best guess is
that as low dog on the totum pole the dog is finding something
even lower.
