    Well isn't she a sassy little thing? Thanks so much for the information. I had not heard of this one at all. I will Google it to get more info and find where to purchase! Deb

    Hi @Vesna, it’s interesting you say that about the spay. Our tri-color actually just got spayed this week and her coat shed before that. I noticed small amount of black hair growing in where she shed, hopefully it grows back. What phase is your tri-color at? Did this just happen?

    I can't listen to that, it would wake my girl up and well... I'm not into a "sing along" just now. ;) I will say that many canines howl and yodel and bay (at the moon, whenever a fire truck passes, etc.). I'm not certain that any one breed is distinctive enough to have a sound all their own, but many a proud owner would probably assert so.

    Tana could seemingly care less about noises, nothing seems to bother her, not even a shotgun being fired about 50 feet away a couple weeks ago. She was more interested in wanting the varmint two of my other dogs had put up a tree- which is what I was shooting at ;) As skittish as she was when we adopted her from BRAT (she was a puppymill dog) she really has turned out to be very laid back about a lot of situations :) Jibini on the other hand, is weird. As a pup he didn't seem bothered by much- growing up in Florida he was accustomed to thunderstorms but when he was 6 or 7 he suddenly started getting a bit nervous/agitated by the sound of thunder….mostly pacing and whining. And now at age 11 he's not nearly as bothered by them as he was a couple years ago; he may whine and pace for a few minutes but is usually content to snuggle under a blanket and sleep it out. Fireworks definitely bother him and that started a couple years before the thunder anxiety. He isn't thrilled about gunfire either. But other loud noises don't bother him- when I drove a truck he was exposed to a lot of noisy situations- I could walk him through a busy truck shop and not even an impact wrench going off 10 feet behind him made him flinch. I guess some dogs are pretty selective about which noises they'll react to- I know I've seen hunting dogs who were scared to death of thunder and certain other types of loud noises, but absolutely steady to gunfire.
