Do your Pyrs howl?
« on: September 02, 2005, 12:00:33 pm »
Whenever a train goes by & blows it's whistle Samson tilts nose to the sky & howls like a danged hound or something...I imagine the train whistle hurts his ears...Do any of your Pyr's do this?

Dilbert did as a pup, it was sooo cute, when he was outside and wanted in he would howl. Now he does it softly but it is not as often.

That's one of the things I miss about my old dog, Buddy Boy, he and all the neighbor dogs howled at fire engines and cops. At one time, we had 7 dog in three houses in a row all howling, it was a hoot.

My pyrs don't howl. It's bitter sweet. I miss him, but if I hadn't lost Buddy Boy, I'd have never found Earl, Kendra, and all you guys!

On Dixie's first day home I put her in a little playpen  (3'x4'X30"tall) so that Sugar Bear could take a nap. I went into the kitchen, and within 2 seconds she had her head back and was howling like crazy.  Then after about 60 seconds of that she jumped out of the playpen.  I was able to put Sugar Bear in the playpen for 3 months, it lasted for Dixie for all of 60 seconds. Dixie has even been known to pull the door open when she want to go out.

Tulsa loves Cops and Firemen. We live across the street from their Headquarters. When they roll, Tulsa is digging at the door wanting to join the fun, when they come to our door, telling us to keep it down, Tulsa is all over them, giving loves,(saved my butt on more than one occasion)

Kiah doesn't howl at all. She only barks to be let in the house or if she's can't be in the same room with me.
