Mine's 8 months old. If there's no ball in sight, it's an apple being dropped at my feet. No apple, then a pine cone. No pine cone, then a stick. Since you're active, don't mind the shedding, or having it by your side 24/7... I'm sure you'll be happy with the choice.
Mine too runs the goat/llama fence, sometimes sneaking in. Loves every baby thing in sight. Car rides. He's super ball intense. I think he was born potty trained and to fetch/return.
