Quirks??? HUH! Dale is full of them

He barks and runs from empty milk jugs...like they have 3 heads or something!

He does not care for my son's toys that make noise.

When you call him to come in from outside; he will stare at you until you walk away from the door, then he will come running in! (We are going to obedience school now, so we will work on this one).

He barks at the mail lady (i am sure this is a quirk she doesnt like )

I am sure i could think of more...he makes me laugh! For sure!

This breed becomes very aware when something is out of place...not just Dale, but a Swissie, in particular. If you place a trash can or any other obect in the middle of the yard, and it wasn't there yesterday, or ever before, they will stand there and bark at...as if saying, "Where the heck did you come from? And why are you here?" It is funny to watch! He did this once when i had left a dust pan and broom in the middle of the hallway...he just stopped in his tracks and barked and barked like it was an intruder!
