Yep. And the "high ringing chop" is going to carry for miles, and most
likely be deafening at close quarters... and will most likely be heard any
time the dog is excited. Brenin (who's half Redbone) doesn't sound off when
he's chasing something, but as soon as it stops (and that includes other
dogs in chase games), or when he wants something (his ball, my attention,
etc.), he makes non-stop noise.
