 Ball phobia XD ever had a dog with one?

So it may seem odd a dog with a some what phobia of balls XD so i got my APBT Milla a boomer ball for her xmas those who dont know what a boomer ball is its a solid plastic ball designed for Bullies, Rotts, GSD, Mastiffs, Dobermanns etc pretty much any dog with a strong jaw i used to have one for my Rott and Dobe then once they passed i gave it to the family dog Cassie a Chocolate Labrador who has went through 3 of them!! It was indestrucable to a Rottweiler and Dobermann i give it to a Labrador and she breaks it same applies to 2 brand new boomers needless to say it does take Cassie a year to break them lol

But yeah i got Milla a boomer for her xmas this year but she has the most biggest fear of balls!! She has never been hit with a ball, been on the wrong side of a ball etc she has balls in the house from different sizes the smallest one is a tennis sized ball thats the smallest and is big enough to fit in her mouth she has vinyl ones and soft puppy plastic ones etc but they so much roll off her bed she runs a mile same as if she accidently nudges one when playing with another toy she is off like a shot! I have tried showing her balls are fun i have lay on the floor and batted them slowly between each hamd om the floor and said excitingly "ah wowo this is really fun does Milla want a shot?" she will sniff amd ill stop batting but evan still trotts off evan when i tell her well done

As i said never been hurt by a ball or anything has always had a ball with her from since she was born there was a soft ball in her cage with the litter mates

Its just strange...

I have seen other dogs that don’t lke balls lol, it is funny. Zoe on the other hand loves balls, tennis, jollys,exc. It all depends on the dog, you dog migh like stuffed animals instead. or maybe a disk kong?

She doesnt really like stuffed animals she likes rope style toys but on saying that she ha a rope with a tennis ball on the end weather or not she knows thats a ball i dont know but she chomps it but is more into rope style toys
she has Kongs a puppy Kong the type you stuff treats in, a water proof Kong wubba for the beach and those rainy day walks, a normal Kong Wubba for tug as its that hard material tassels and a Snugga Wubba for bed times. She has the Kong frisbee but she hasnt mastered the way of fetch

If anything her spring pole is her fav toy and just to clear its used as a tug toy until she is older so she has all four legs on the ground instead of her hind legs and most of all it wont mess up her back or stump her growth but still lets her burn energy

Shes only 12weeks so just a baby and still getting to know things but as agreed she will proberly get used to everything as she is older i think it just cause she is so different to what my Nelly was like Nelly unlike Milla wasnt scared of anything didnt worry about anything wasnt a wimp etc i think i just presume she will be like Nelly is all

Thats in the rottweilers nature, to be brave, Zoe is very brave, she weighs 40 pounds and runs at the fence barking like she weighs 90 ibs already, but there is one thing she is afraid of, lol, your going to love this one, Small dogs. She is soooo scared of small dogs, I think because the one time she played with one she hurt it. After that she runs around them, she tries to avoid them and if the get to close she’ll hide behind me, she doesn’t like them.
