Sumo has started doing the "grab a kibble or 2 or 3 and walk away to eat it" behavior. The more I see it with a couple dogs around, I'm thinking it comes from wanting to make sure they eat a little food and not get it taken away by the other dogs that may be around (e.g. find the common feeding source of the pack, then grab some and taste it without being bugged).
We've started feeding Chibi and Sumo about 10 ft away from each other (vs. side by side like we were before). Seems that Chibi will not eat when Sumo is that close. Even now though, Chibi waits until Sumo is done eating, goes away to do something else, THEN she'll start eating her food.
Also noticed, they BOTH do the "lick every area around my mouth for 10 minutes after I'm done eating" behavior. Kinda fun to watch :)
