Just wondering....

Are huskies the only breed that "talk"?

[chaos270]

nope Kali definitely talks back    you tell her no she will bark in your face until you give in and she'll carry on conversations with you too.  Our greyhound Mackey was also a talker.

[Jessdryden]

Our newfies have been "conversational" too.  They actually talk back.   It is cute when they have a conversation with you though.

I've heard that Danes can be quite talkative.

But, as usual, Jack is just too lazy to even do that.

You took the words right out of my mouth Tina LOL

My first Dane was very vocal, he always "rooed" at things, but Grey, totally different story lol

I wish!  Holly "talks" at dinnertime every night.  We call her the Dinner Whale because it sounds like a whale song.   My old  GSD talked all the time.  I had an Eskie (someone stole it  ) that talked all the time.

I've found that shar-pei are quite talkative with a lot of snorts, purring, yodelling, yips, squeaks and grunts going on. My chow also had a lot to say for himself and always had to have the last word. But Flynn just screams down my ear if he has a pointot get across - I usually know what he means.

My first dog never talked, but she did have a habit of staring blankly at me and yet I'd knowing exactly what she wanted. 

[Teamshredit]

That's what I figured. Almost everyday someone at the dog park asks if Daisy has husky in her cause she's always talking. I think its because she's female.   

[ZooCrew]

Well, if it means anything...... ..Keiko is 1/2 husky, and I used to joke with people that she was mute b/c she never makes any noise at all.  She obviously didn't get the husky voice gene.

Gunther, on the other hand, will not shut up!!  He is constantly growling (not in a mean way), rooing, huffing, and basically making a big racket.     And here I was told from all the research I did that danes are not that vocal.  yeah, right.

Case in point:  For some reason, the sound isn't matching up with the video, but you get the idea.

Kitana talks all the time. I love it, but sometimes it gets annoying.

[jennifer]

My Nakita girl is very talkative, but mostly in complaint - whiny, growly, squeaky noises.  And she'll bark up a storm if she's not getting her way.  Bear, on the other hand, doesn't say much but will put up a loud "woo, woo, woo, woo" when he's excited to go out.  I don't know if this is typical of saints though.

[K9ldy00]

Dozer and Gretchen are both very talkative. They are Coonhounds so they have built in vocals.
Gretchen will sass you back when she wants something and Dozer is a pro at moaning.

[Jessdryden]

Oh, the moaning!  I forgot about that.  All of our newfies have been pros at moaning and sighing.

OMG - Kate talks up a storm, CONSTANTLY!  Never a quiet minute in this house! Except when she's sleeping

OK, it's not that bad.  It's funny actually, just not when I'm trying to talk on the phone

Sadie talks all the time. She grumbles when she doesn't like something. She barks back at me if I talk to her, especially when I tell her no. Then she makes these very odd noises that sound a lot like Chewbacca from Starwars. And I swear on my life, sometimes when I tell her "off" she makes this cross between a sigh and a groan that sounds like she's saying "Humph" and she'll stick her nose in the air and turn her back on me. Such attitude!

My parents have a Shepherd that is ALWAYS talking. And it's weird, you could sit there and he'll talk to you and you'll think you just had a conversation about the morning paper. He is almost human that dog, it's crazy. The Golden doesn't make a sound. I don't know if I even know what his bark sounds like. He doesn't need to talk I guess living with that crazy man

[chaos270]

Oh yeah I forgot to add that Kali throws a hissy fit if you try and talk on a phone in her vicinity...esp ecially when I'm calling my mom from school, so therefore I have to talk to her too to get her to shut up.
