Like I've said before, this is my first experience with a herding breed. Voodoo was a VERY mouthy dog when we first got him. I understand it's a catahoula trait--they're "grippy" herding dogs, as oppossed to dogs that use a lot of eye or stalk.
We've long since taught him that it's unacceptable to nip or mouth. But it's like the desire hasn't gone away. He's always walking around clicking and chomping his teeth when excited. For example, he'll shove his head under my hand and start happily chomping the air while I pet him.
Weirdo. :lol-sign:
I've never had a dog do this before. Is this a herding breed thing? Or is it a uniquely Voodoo quirk?
