Now I realise dogs don't purr but do they do something similar?
I have a couple of working cockers, CJ (3 years old) and Bailey (2 years old), both dogs and both have had the chop. I have no other behavioural issues with them and both walk well on and off the lead.
However CJ will occasionally perform a low growl. Sometimes he'll come and sit next to me on the sofa (his own choice) and low growl whilst I make a fuss of him, he'll be wagging his tail at the same time and ask for more fuss if I stop.
He'll also do the same thing if for instance he's carrying a stick/ball
He's been checked out by a vet and there is nothing medically wrong with him and he seems happy enough.
just looking for thoughts
Cheers
