I've not heard them bark, but I've seen them walk. The blonde who walks them can't or won't control them. Whose walkin' who, here anyhow? If they bark as much as they walk, it must be one noisy neighborhood. Prime dogs though, gotta say that.

I like on Everest and Earthquake is a hit with us. I think they're new to the neighborhood because I never saw them until around Xmas. Earthquake lets out this enormous deep bark when coyotes are around. He does this all day. Must keep him in at night because I only heard him a few times. My husband says, "There goes earthquake" and sure enough, coyotes are circling in the area then.

I don't believe their actual names are Earthquake and Tornado. And yes, they are new up here.

I prefer the little antsy one, the reddish one. She is on meth.

I know the two dogs you're talking about. I raised hounds years ago and Earthquake is bred to protect his lead dog (rabbit) and that is Tornado. I've seen these two walking and Tornado is faster. Watch next time you see them and Tornado is a bitch, not a male dog. Earthquake was bred to track and bring up the rear and to retrieve whatever prey is out there. Tornado is bred to race along like the wind and whip up the dogs behind her. She is not bred to bark or retrieve anything.

Someone posted that Earthquake gets mad if you pet Tornado. This is because his job is to make sure Tornado isn't distracted and to have her in the lead, tracking the coon or rabbit they're after. Earthquake has a bell bark because he's bred to explode barking if two contingencies happen:

1. Someone threatens his pack
2. He finds prey. He then is to retrieve it to his master.

I wouldn't have Tornado as a pet because she probably doesn't listen, won't drop things and does her own thing. Earthquake I would bet is very obedient. He's bred to be and the hunt depends upon his bark and his smarts.

Two cute little doggies if I say so myself.

Yup, that 10 second bark is from Earthquake. I'm on Pinewood and I hear it. My wife and I went out one day to see where it was coming from and pinpointed it to the street above Grizzly, the dead end.
