Everyone needs to talk about a spay/neuter... while in Europe it is not the "norm" to do so... however in the US it is.... that said waiting till the pup is mature is the best... but in the US we have issues with puppymills and Backyard breeders that breed/sell pups for profit... My contracts say that the pup needs to be spayed/neutered... and we talk about the age. Again, I will say that my puppy people are "Vetted" before getting a puppy, but many Puppymiller puppies and/or Backyard Breeders could not care if those pups were bred or not... nor are they health tested... so as they say "buyer beware". Responsible breeders stay in touch with the pups they place... the others... NOT... could not care less... OK I said my 2cents... And many in the US are not ready to keep a female that is in season... a short story about a friend that had 2 German Shepards... Male/Female in tact.... female came in season, so they locked to male in the backyard, female in their garage... the male "ate down the door to the garage to get to the female..".... puppies happened... no health testing either... IT HAPPENS... DO NOT THINK THAT IT WILL NOT! And I can tell you stories about males coming through windows in the home to get to a bitch in season....years ago we had a 12yr in-tact male lab 3 blocks over, he knew exactly when my Basenji bitches were in season... thankfully we had 12ft fences... but he was there every single day... not so for many homes that have fences this big... and if this boy was younger... I can bet he would have found a way over the fence
Our first yodel

It was bedtime a couple nights ago and I had just put Noel in her crate. I turn off all the lights and sat down in the family room and turn on the Television. All of a sudden I hear a noise that sounds like an instrment playing from noel's room. I look at my husband and say…Was that Noel. It was the most beautiful noise. Unfortunatley I have not heard it again.

That's great. Hopefully you'll hear other noises soon enough.
I've only had the joy of hearing these weird growls. He only does it when he's excited. Hard to explain the noise but it's very random.

If your little one is making noises, chances are she will continue. I have never heard my B yodel - she only whines and mutters when she doesn't get her way. My B-mix however, barks, yodels, barroos, and makes all manner of odd noises when the two are playfighting. I keep hoping that she will eventually sound off, but she's 16 months and nothing yet.

In 3 years the only time Sonny makes any noise is at my mother when he visits their house. When she comes in the door from work he yodels, barks and sings for her. It never fails every time she walks in the house. For me he does nothing! :eek:

Don't you just love it? Otis has been yodeling more now, after he turned one, than ever before…usually when he wants something.

Hope Noel continues to yodel for you, it's such a lovely sound.
