Sayreovi Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Ohh good going, you will love her dogs you will meet my dogs parents (3 of them) Nova does it occasionally when he gets really excited, hurt or scared its not that bad i guess but if your someone who doesnt like noise then it can get really annoying they can be taught not to do it but you HAVE to catch them the very first time they do it. Darcy as yet hasnt done anything and there are some Tollers that never do it, screaming could be a learnt behaviour as well and genetic so again depends on the parents Let me know how it goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparty Posted March 30, 2005 Author Share Posted March 30, 2005 LOL the neighbour across the road from my mum has a parot/cocatoo of some sort that mimics (currently the phoe ringing CONSTANTLY) with luck the new dog will not do any out of the ordinary sounds for the bird to mimic!! I could see that being a major problem in the street. As it is the birds imitation of the phone for hours on end drives me batty and im only visiting!!

SpikesPuppy Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 I would recommend a Border Terrier. Although they are a Terrier, they should not be at all agressive, are highly intelligent and easy to train- most love playing with toys and balls, etc. Caber will be starting Flyball training when he's 12 months old- but is currently ball-mad and will fetch it 99% of the time. He will also do agility once he's old enough. As for obedience, they can be stubborn and obedience may be a bit boring and repetitive for them, but I do know of a few Borders who do well. They are small, but not too small, can be left with the 'scruffy' look or can be hand stripped to give them a sleeker appearance. Very friendly, happy dogs- just happy to be alive! They are reasonably active- will walk for miles, but are not hyperactive. They aren't particularly destructive, and are fantastic at amusing themselves (if I am too busy to play, Caber will happily amuse him self with his toys, throwing and catching his ball all by himself, etc).

Sayreovi Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Should fit in fine then, as they tend to do it more when they are really excited im betting that while waiting for your turn at agility and that stuff you are more then likely to hear it, thats the only thing i am dreading as it can sound really awful and the looks you get from people!!!

Sparty Posted April 4, 2005 Author Share Posted April 4, 2005 LOL i think myMum is hooked after visiting the breeder she has never seen such loving and gentle dogs as these were tho i would like to know if anyone knows if there is an "online" recording of this "scream" so we can be prepared :rolleyes: Jen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayreovi Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 You never know your pup may not do it, the scream generally happens when really really excited so while waiting for their agility/flyball run but other then that i would be too worried about it happening it depends on the dog and how easily excited they get haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
