Hello,
Thank you all for your opinions
on this matter. It is good to know others have seen this in their
dogs. I don't, however, think he was protecting me since on numerous
occasions on walks and at dog parks previous to getting the elkhound, he and I
have both been snapped at by other dogs, and he has always run and hidden behind
me or gotten right up against my legs in front of me but done nothing aggressive
to the other dog. It is a good thing if he feels protective as mentioned
in one of the replies. He always gets between my wife and strange people
or dogs, and I would feel grateful indeed if I knew that anyone acting hostile
towards my wife would get the same treatment as the aforementioned Chow.
Thanks again for your replies.
