Thanks!
I have to say that I like this thread also. It isn't very common to have such a long thread were everyone is still getting along.
Henry'schickens~ When we go camping there are coyotes, bobcats, mountain lions, and deer everywhere. Only one of my dogs (lab) does a wimper and that is when there are deer near. They know what deer taste like and love it. When she smells that deer sent she goes nuts and wines because she knows what can come next, a yummy meal.
On the other hand we went camping just last month and my heller/lab/pit started doing a deep low pitch growl. There was something very big walking/running around our camp area. It kept driving my dog nuts, my lab got over it but my heeler/pit/lab kept going and going on. My hubby came back to camp and said that he saw a mountain lion with two cubs the next canyon over. The three of them had walked up onto our camp and then worked there way around us. My dogs never did a wimper as in fear. It made them get more brave and sound more fierce. My mutt didn't stop running rounds around the camp. My mutt has never made that noise but after mountain lions and bobcats.
For coyotes they just will bark and want to chase them, just like if they saw a strange dog running around town.
So I guess my dogs do the opposite from what you say.
Maybe they are like this because they were raised out camping, hunting, and being exposed to all sorts of wild life not just backyard life. That might have something to do with it.
