All of my dogs have been stick-a-holics, and yes, they bring the stick right back at a dead run and throw it down at your feet for another toss.

When you let your dog run with sticks, train them to run with the sticks across the mouth rather than sticking out the front like a cigar. I had a few cases where the stick got impaled in the jaw or soft palate when the dog stumbled or ran into something.
