Thank you everyone for answering the snoring question. Missy is the only dog we have ever had that snores. She also gets the hiccupps. Does anyone else have a dog that gets the hiccupps? She is black over most of her body with wooly black hair. She has a white collar of fur around her neck & down her chest area which is soft. She has butterscotch coloring on her eye brows & down on her paws which are white with the butterscotch bands above the white. She reminds us of a little bear & loves to splash in the mud puddles, & play ball. I love Australian Shepherds & she is a sweetheart for sure. Thank you for the welcome. I have been here over the last couple of years off & on. Like everyone here my heart belongs to the unconditional love of a companion canine.
