Well, sorta
I was walking Izzy off-leash today and she treed a squirrel and (as is her custom) proceeded to let out an ear-splitting, glass-shattering line of shrieks until I told her to knock it off
Then I see some lady coming towards me and the conversation went something like this:
Her: "Do you have a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever?"
Me: "Uh, no"
Her: *looks around* "Do you have another dog?"
Me: "Not with me"
Her: "Was that your dog making that sound?"
Me: "Yeah, that was her" *points at Izzy*
Her: "Oh" *disappointed*
Apparently she'd heard Izzy shrieking from her house and had run over thinking it was a Toller. We talked a good 15 minutes, seems she'd had Tollers growing up and lost her last one recently at the age of 15. She said that she'd never heard a non-Toller with a Toller scream before, but that Izzy definitally had the Toller scream. She seemed quite impressed that I knew what a Toller was, and even more impressed that I knew what a Toller scream was, even though I didn't know what it sounded like
Maybe Izzy isn't actually a corgi, but a Toller/Swedish Vallhund mix! :yikes: LOL!
