All these moans, groans and grunts. Usually happens when he is sleeping or very relaxed. Sounds like a beast from the other rooms. When I first heard them, I literally ran to the crate to see if he was ok. He just looked at me like why are you disturbing my rest?- I was a concerned mama!!moans and groans

moans and groans
The sounds that come out of Odin when he is in his crate are hysterical!! All these moans, groans and grunts. Usually happens when he is sleeping or very relaxed. Sounds like a beast from the other rooms. When I first heard them, I literally ran to the crate to see if he was ok. He just looked at me like why are you disturbing my rest?- I was a concerned mama!!

- Tell us about yourself: I was introduced to the Dutch Shepherd breed during my time as an Army veterinary technician working with Military Working Dogs. I fell in love with the breed and by pure chance happened to meet a DS in a local rescue who was a police K9 washout and was up for adoption. We adopted Zodiac right away and she has been an important part of our family ever since. We currently compete in Rally-Obedience and participate in Agility.

Re: moans and groans
Haha, same thing with Zodiac. Sometimes it sounds like she's having a conversation with herself.

- Tell us about yourself: I adopted a Dutch Shepherd mix (without knowing what she was) from the SPCA here in Victoria BC and am now trying to learn everything I can about this breed. My husband and I work from home most of the time so I thought it was time to get a puppy! We have his 2 boys here half the time and we wanted a nice family dog.
Sugar looks like a miniature Dutch Shepherd with floppy ears, and has every ounce of DS traits in her little body!
I hope to learn from other DS owners and share doggy experiences. - Location: Victoria BC

- Tell us about yourself: I am in New York State. Got my first DS about 14 years ago (more or less as a rescue- lost her in Nov.). After years of GSD's, and a few dogs of other breeds (Rotti/Beauceron/Ger. Shorthaired Pointer/ Yorkie and my current Jack Russell) I now have another DS, 4mo female, no name yet, tho I have a few in mind.
Also have a horse-old quarter horse mare-32.

Cino is the same way. Had a friend watch him a couple of months ago and he was amazed at how vocal Cino is.

Re: moans and groans
Jetson tends to be quiet, aside from woooo-ooooo-oooings every now and then, and manly 'eugh' sounds when he stretches after coming out of his crate, or after a deep sleep.
His sister jazzy is the opposite. Everything is punctuated by some of the most bizzare sounds I have ever heard.

Boaz isn't crated, but sometimes he moans and groans so much I call him "Moose".

Re: moans and groans
Ellie does really loud moans when she's trying to sleep and I'm talking too loud.
Or dramatic sighs. You'd think she's trying to tell me something...
