Now some people find this hurts their ears, but it makes me laugh too hard to notice. The girl is only fair but the dog is BRILLIANT.
Their act could improve with some professional polishing, but that being said, the pair of them are dead set to go far. A big career ahead for both of them.
I was listening, and my dog came upstairs in full voice looking for the dog. It was pretty funny. He was sort of puzzled, and then just decided it wasn’t worth worrying about and looked around to see if there were any places where I might have spilled snacks or something.
The girl was pretty shrill. The husky was perfect.
Huskies are talkative like that, as are Dobermans.
Slightly different but related, one of my late mother’s German Shepherd dogs, one of the biggest examples of the breed I’ve ever seen, was unfazed by absolutely everything except….if he was out on a walk and heard a baby crying he would immediately start to howl like a wolf. The first time I witnessed this was while I, only 14 at the time and probably a couple of stone lighter than the 12st. (160+pounds) mass of muscle (and being long-haired made him seem even larger) that was more like a bear than a dog, was walking him through the market square on a busy Saturday afternoon. A woman was waiting at a stall and her baby was crying in its pram. The dog instantly sat next to the pram, turned his great head to the sky and began howling. There was no way I could shift him or shut him up, and it was only after a very embarrasing couple of minutes that the baby was quieted and the dog shut up and let me lead him away as though nothing unusual had occured. I was never closer to abandoning a dog and vanishing into the crowd than I was that day.
Oh, and he was a show dog, with many first places in the obedience category, extremely well trained and always well-behaved: when walked, his right shoulder was never more than a few inches from my left leg and I never had to pull on his leash to keep him there, which is why I was allowed to walk him unaccompanied despite him being so much stronger. I never could figure out whether his reaction to crying babies was intended as an alert to the child’s distress or if it distressed him, but it was a sight to behold.
