Since bringing Lola home Bubba is now announcing when strangers enter our yard. Which isn't neccessarily a bad thing. It's just seems so Un-Saint like...
Let me try to explain a little... We have a friends car out by the road for sale. Whenever anyone stops to see the car and Bubba happens to be outside his hackles raise and he barks and runs to the fence. If these people approach him he backs away and keep barking. After 5 or so minutes of looking at these people he will stop and go about his usual business. Back to wagging his tail and looking for attention.
He only does it with people he has NEVER met. If he reconizes you then he doesn't make a peep.
Also when Bubba does this Lola will go up on the porch and sit and wait there until Bubba comes up and gets her then she will follow him back down the steps. Some serious doggy communication going on there or something.
I know I've read that male saints can be same sex dog aggressive but I don't think I've read anything about them being territorial.
I wouldn't even call it being aggressive.. it's more of a 'Who are you and why are you on my property' type of thing. Aloof with strangers comes to mind.
I'm just looking for some input. For the record Bubba is 17 months old and not yet neutered.
