It IS tedious how, at 10 months, she barks at so many subtle cues. I never ever owned a guard dog untrained. It is a hard job everyone, and not for first time dog owners. I call her 'stupido' when she barks for no reason i think, inside the house. It is pretty often. She woke me up barking at 11am this mroning Bark, bark, bark. Tedious. But cute and interesting too. Charlotte is not a strikingly hadnsome dog- very ordinary looks.
