What a cutie!!!!

Re: growling....I would give it a bit of time before I got concerned. My border collie mix growled constanly as a pup.....when you tried to take away a toy, when he was chewing a toy, when he got zoomies.....all the time! As he got a little older and learned all his commands, i.e "drop it" we realized that the growl was not at all possessive. He's a very submissive boy and gives up whatever he has in a second if we tell him to. The growling for him is just a personality trait.....he just likes to talk! He doesn't do it as much now but still has a pretty "vicious" growl whenever we play tug with him. Some people misinterpret it.....but the fact that he ALWAYS lets us win is what is important.
