Heres just an FYI if your looking into the breed as a watchdog, get a different breed! These guys are WORTHLESS for the most part as a watchdog... ok maybe they are PERFECT watchdogs, they will watch your stuff taken right from under your nose and have a wag in their tail as they do it!
I just got a call this morning from my dad stating he took off with my car early this morning to have the heating fan fixed because it completely stopped working. Having no working heat when it's in the single digits outside really sucks.
So my dad was able to walk over, through my back yard, through my gate (which you can hear inside open and close), start my car, work on my car, then take my car and Nubs NEVER moved from the couch. There is no way he would have not heard it. My car isn't the quietest when it is running.
Last year my car was broken into while sitting in my driveway late at night and Nubs never made a peep even.
Thank goodness I did not get Nubs to be a watchdog because I would be SORELY disappointed. I just think it's funny that he'll hear my car coming and start dancing, barking, crying, but when I'm at home, he doesn't even think "Hmmm... Human's CAR!!!!!". What a funny Nubs!
Not too worried about people coming in uninvited. This is the view you see normally when I'm gone out the front of the house:
About as good as your gonna get with this watchdog!
