It depends how you behave toward your dogs. To your dogs, you are a member of it's pack/family. If you act dominantly towards your dogs and in charge, they will think of you as the pack leader.
Sometimes dogs do this when they are excited.
If you consider chasing and digging up rodents, they could be said to sporting dogs. But many say sporting dogs are those that go along while one hunts to point out game (pointers) or retrieves it (retrievers).
They are great dogs with a very calm loving disposition. They are a gentle giant and a great member of the family!
It might depend on the breed of dog. A family member of mine has four dogs and a baby. Labs are great with babies. Good Luck!
