Cat like? Marty's sister is definitely cat like but Marty is an odd breed.
He runs and hops like a rabbit, he recently chased a rabbit in the field next to our house and I'm sure hes beginning to suspect he maybe adopted! Rabbit dog or dog, either way, I love him.
Other odd behavior, he barks at dogs and people when we are walking. That maybe normal but I'd like to fix it. When we get to 'hand shake' distance, he stops barking and is excited to say hi. I would encourage good behavior, however he barks before I get a chance to positively reinforce him. I'll have to check other threads on behavior.
He met a Great Dane; 8 months old, 130 lbs! The thing was huge and not near full grown. Its amazing. i'm keeping track of the interesting dogs hes met, its fun.
He barks at moose(s) which we see often. He barked at horses a few weeks ago and I couldn't get him to calm down, so he never got a chance to greet them, I didn't want the horses to get any more scared.
