I would probably get along with Paps very easily(you know, you have really made me interested in the breed)!
I have to say, Peaches is not food motivated at all. During all her obedience training her 'reward' was a tennis ball. In public, she does not like to eat(really odd thing about her, ever since she was a pup), so I resorted to tossing her tennis ball as the reward. Worked wonderfully for agility with her, after she did a run(no competition, just fun classes) I would toss her ball. Of course, she loved agility so much...there were times she couldn't handle watching other dogs do their run so she would dart in and start doing the course herself:yikes:. She sounds like your paps. She does everything because she wants to, she has no interest in food or any real reward other then being told 'good girl' and being praised.
