Re: [pyrnet] Bark (voice) change question

["Lene Nielsen" <sandybear@orangenet.dk>]

Hi Charlotte

I think it is not unusual for an older dog to change voice. My Sherryl now
going for 11 often has a much higher tone than she used to, not the normal
deep bark of a pyr, but sounding more like a smaller dog. I remember the
same happen to some of my other pyrs as they got old. I guess it might as
well become more hoarse as more yappy, I don't think he need to worry.
