Why doesn't my dog bark at a horse and buggy?

Not a rescue, had since he was 8 weeks old.

Agreed, he hardly ever picks his nose up off the ground. And if I didn’t have him on a lead when outdoors I would definitely have to chase him to the next county.

Heh…I read that as “he hardly ever picks his nose…”

I was ready to pat you on the back for your clever training.

Beagles picking boogies ain’t nice to watch!:grinning_face:

We had dachshunds mostly, but we had one beagle. The beagle bark/howled a lot, yeah, but nobody out-barks a dachshund. They bark continuously and loudly.

Doxxies are breed apart in many ways. Ain’t they?

Heh, in 45+ years, I can remember a horse in sight of home twice: a neighbor of my parents’ hired a team of two horses, driver, and cart for old timey rides around the block (I wasn’t invited). And the Chicago Police did an Equestrian Patrol demo for a block party by my place about ten years ago.
