Many dogs are bred to be retrievers so this fits in well with their natural drives. It is also why they will shake a toy very roughly as that is their instincts when catching prey.

Dogs have a pack mentality that makes them more open to being trained. So the "game" of fetch incorporates natural chasing or hunting behavior, and your praise (as the "alpha" pack member in the dog's mind) reinforces this behavior.
