Default dog play behavior

Dogs that play among themselves are quite interesting to watch.

I saw a border collie and a smaller dog (one of those
grip-at-all-costs types) playing tug with a piece of rope recently.
The collie had a clever way of 'winning', it would gradually work it's
way up the length of the rope, bit by bit, until it forced the little
dog to let go by being nose to nose.

The smaller dog just ran round to the now lose other end to start
over. After a while the BC had a different approach and ended up
'collecting' the rope as you might with your arms, ending with several
loops rolled through its jaw so the other dog didn't have a loose end
to grab after being inevitably forced from the rope!

Brains over jaws!

Maybe your dogs show some interesting play behavior youd like to
share.
