I was reading the threads about growling, which led me to ask this question: Does anyone have a dog that growls but is obviously not upset, afraid, or nasty?

Kalina growls. When I come home from work she goes nuts from the time she first hears my car coming down the street until I am in the house. She is so happy to see me, but she growls. She growls the entire time I am petting and kissing and hugging her. She doesn't bite. She's non-aggressive (In fact, I would say she is very passive) but she is growling the entire time she is wagging her tail and kissing me and having spasms of happiness.

She also growls when we play together, but she never bites or acts ferocious. Does anyone else have a dog like this? She's 5 months old and a growling/kissing fool.
