Talking He BARKS!!!

So I don't know if you all remember our breakthrough when we finally, after weeks of work, got Mikey to make a wee little whine on command? It was barely audible in the video I posted-and in real life.

[If not-here it is awesome :: DSCF5778-1.flv video by newcameramikey - Photobucket ]

He's been getting louder-and tonight he BARKED Weeee!! I'm so excited I knew he could bark Check out my dog being SUPER loud
a good one :: DSCF6169.flv video by newcameramikey - Photobucket

And if your wondering-that's a dead elephant behind him lol

You have heard the saying..."be careful what you wish for" ?

I loved my Bullmastiffs cause they didn't bark. Norbert...the Rhodesian Ridgeback rarely. I love quiet dogs! I have emergency backup barkers (aka barks with hair on them) if I NEED barking.

LOL Thanks guys He even barked a little between chuffing last night when his grandparents came to visit. Though he was asleep when I came home at noon-I had to CALL him lol what a guard dog-though if a stuffed elephant ever tries to break in we'll be covered

He has barked before-he just doesn't -but he IS noisy lol -especially on first arrival at the dog park.
