I'm sure all of you have watched your dog while he/she is asleep. When my pup starts to twitch her tail and paws and makes little noises I would love to know what she is dreaming. Is it dreaming?
Sandy

Is that the time......! Should be in bed and asleep !!!

We always call it ''chasing rabbits'' :) even though neither of my dynamic duo have ever chased a rabbit....to my knowledge :D

I thought of posting something like this myself. My pup twitches quite violently when he is deeply asleep, and makes sort of 'squeeky' noises :) I guessed he was dreaming. For him, it must be about food or playing in the garden, because he hasn't been allowed out (until today - yeah :) )

The extraordinary thing about this is that a litter of week-old pups (still blind and deaf) will do the same!!!Now what on earth are they dreaming about, when they've never seen or heard anything at all?????

It *has* to be food then. Can't say I blame them - it's a good thing to dream about :D

Sarah

Sky can full-on howl when she's asleep, I think it's the only time she actually makes a noise! :)
Apart from if she sees a cat outside...:S

yeah..my 8yr old Schnauzer does the same (he does little puppy barks too) we also call it chasing rabbits :) My 9wk old pup Schnauzer suckles in his sleep...you can see his mouth moving as though he is trying to get his mothers milk..ahhhhh :)

My Labs let off wind in their sleep so what does that mean ??:D

Lucy

I don't know, but my husband does exactly the same thing, don't think it's rabbit chasing, perhaps too much fibre in their diet ;) *lol*

Might be rabbit chasing but hoping to stun them with the stink !! :D :D

Lucy

pmsl I think you're right! :D

My Lurcher rolls her eyes, growls, barks, 'runs' and wags her tail in her sleep!
I'd love to know what she dreams about, but she must be having fun!
Liz

My crew does that too. One of them would have their tongue half out and just sucking away on it, it was pretty funny :D

I have noticed Taz would make noises and wag his tail, sometimes he would look like he was running laying down his tail would be just a wagging and his legs just a running :D wonder what that is all about wish I knew :)

ttfn :)

Sky's a lurcher too, I would say it was a lurcher thing, but it seems it isn't! :D;)

All my dogs have done. Jamie, my Irish Setter, used to talk in his sleep. Bit annoying at three in the morning when he was lying at the side of the bed.

My pup Bess is a Gordon Setter - so maybe she will eventually talk in her sleep. Thinks......will it be in a Scottish accent ? :)
Sandy

My 3 year old Standard Schnauzer (kinder) still suckles in her sleep. It is a definate ahhhh momemt.

Hi All

Apparently human babies dream in the womb, therefore if the pup has none or very few actions it had performed that day to allow it to dream then it could be all through genetic memory.

Genetic memory is also quoted as the reason when people are regressed that they can remember previous lives and of course deaths.

Therefore dogs Memories could hold many eons of recollections of their wolf forebears their hunting and prowess as a supreme Alpha Male, all this passed on through genetic cellular level memory and through the DNA strings into the hereditary substrata of the brain.

Then of course I could be talking absolute B******t

My dobe pup twitches her paws when asleep...
My shih tzu snores like at trooper....really annoying as he always starts at nine O'Clock..just when it's time for a coffee before night walks start....i dont know how the other dogs can sleep through him....

Our 13yr old lab, Purdey, still suckles in her sleep - her tongue comes out, curls round - then she starts sucking & kneading away - ahhh!

THEN she starts chasing rabbits - her legs are going, she starts "woffling" (you know the noise!!!) and eventually, we have to "whistle" her home - just gently - she then opens one (looks rather bloodshot at that stage) eye, sighs in her bed & just turns round, & goes back to sleep! Almost every evening she goes "rabbiting" - and we let her go for a few minutes - if she can't do it in real life anymore, she can still do it in her dreams!

Margot

mine just lie there like they have been poleaxed lol.....snoring like trains!
