Bella's such a big softie she'd make a completely useless guard dog
I thought all dogs barked at the postman, papers coming through the door etc but Bella rarely even raises an eyebrow. If she's comfy and sleepy and obviously hears some kind of noise she lifts her head slightly, opens half an eye, and then plonks her head back down and goes off to sleep again
Next door's cocker is the complete opposite and barks at anything and everything, even something as daft as a bird or a butterfly. She never seems to completely settle either and always seems to be 'on guard' and the slightest noise and she's up investigating. Not that she'd make a great guard dog either as she wouldn't say boo to a goose :
