With the current wet season, just wondering if your gundog breed is afraid of thunder and lightning. My ECS is surprisingly reacting well to thunder boom. For those really loud booms, he will react with barks. Even though he's outside the house alone, doesn't seems bothered by it. My previous dogs (working breed) would just go crazy and wanting to come into the house. One even learnt how to open the gate to run out . Is it because ECS is gundog breed that they're not afraid of such loud booms? Or does this just boils down to a dog's character???

My half ECS pup used to bark at thunder then run and hide under a table - now she just ignores it, lol. My other dogs (Doberman and GSD) have never paid attention to thunder though.

Hi ,
Any gun dogs afraid of fireworks and lion dance?
Surprisingly, Rex reacts very well to fireworks & lion dance.. he 's not scared of fireworks (the sight & sound) and seen emotionless when 'lion' dancing just feets in front of him.. . He might be thinking "what's the big deal?"...

All our adult cockers are OK with lion dances but they ahve been through a few cnys now... luckey was very barkey esp when the drums got really loud. when the drums stopped during the pauses, she would also go quiet... like she wanted to be part of the band or something. Brinkley was really scared, but she is also the youngest.

well, my ECS also have no reaction when those fire crackers "bom" the night. (i was the one who can'r sleep, not them). but for the 2 german spizts that i had last time were too braved. why? they jump on the fire crackers! u knowlah, spizt has long fur right? they really scared me as they might be burned and have the "fire lion dance" in front of me!

wah....you guys' dogs are really brave...my oky is one weird dog. hehehe....i think he is still not exposed to everything yet. he will start barking when he hears loud noises like fireworks/tractors. he is afraid of going to the toilet and i have no idea why until today. he is also afraid of upside down stools because when he was a puppy, he got stuck in one of the stools and he cried like hell. bad childhood memory, i guess. poor thing!
