he wanted to run through the house when we came back
in and I told him to sit! When he's annoyed with
me he actually "Huffs". Drives me up the wall. A dog
has the nerve not to have patience with me. 
Who would believe such a thing?
Sounds like your little one is not much different.
They are just too smart for their butts. |
LOL! Don't confuse the single huff with the huffing they do when happy. Gracie Ruth is a back talker, although getting better about that

, and she'll do that single huff when she doesn't like being told to do something. The happy huffing is a bunch of huffs put together in a row and sounds almost like they are panting, or out of breath. But you know there's no reason for them to be out of breath.
Unfortunately I think Buddy is expressing his displeasure, much like my girl does. When she's really miffed theres a yammering grrrr that follows the single huff. I answer back to her real fast, "Excuse me?!!" and she'll drop her ears and stick her nose up at me with a little smile on her face, wag her tail, "Luv you Momma" "Yeah, I thought that's what you meant."
