I have a mix dog that kinda adopted our family instead of us adopting it! Its a large dog that appears to be a golden retriever/collie type mix. Looking at a golden retriever puppy picture the dog is identical to one. But it has VERY thick sable and white color hair and a thick tail that at times curls over his back. My question is that Biggin grunts. Not occasionally but ALL the time. He barks, in 5 months only heard him growl once and quietly...but like a cat purring he grunts especially when getting attention and love. What causes this and is it normal?
