Guest aowam Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Just a fun question. I notice that my boy does this when he's excited or anticipating something good, like treats or meeting new people. Sometimes it's so bad that his teeth clack, haha. I've seen another greyhound do this, but never another dog. People always comment on this when they go to pet him. So, does your grey? Or any of your other dogs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PiagetsMom Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Mirage does do the chin quiver, usually when there's food involved. My girl, Piaget, used to chatter all the time - neither Mirage or Maya chatter, and I miss that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaFlaca Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Wendy does the chin quiver and, if she's really excited, will chatter. She also does this head-bob thing that I've only ever seen birds and reptiles do.

Jimbuck Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Freddy does the chin quiver when he is excited or happy. I compare it to a "prrr" to that of a cat and can sometimes get really loud. The first few months of having him I was quite worried about it thinking he was just nervous all the time. Now I embrace it and think it's quite adorable.

Sheshe Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Angel is our chin quiverer. He does it when he is very happy. I have never heard of any other breed doing this and was once told (not sure how true) that ony greyhounds do this. Means they are happy.

XTRAWLD Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I notice only Ryder does this when getting petted lol not necessarily at the sight of food. Kasey never has.

Guest Eyeblaura Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Enzo does this, we usually only hear the teeth chatter when food but he will quiver with excitement with petting too, just not as vigorously as when something tasty is being offered.

Pepsi2004 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Yes, Charlie does it on a regular basis. I just love it. Another thing he does is run his chin back and forth on his bed - it must feel good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest happygrey Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Bentley has just started doing this little quiver lately -- I wonder if it will ever evolve into a full chatter. I think Des may sometimes quiver but I'm not quite sure. Tatam is our full-on chatterer. We often hear his teeth clacking away. So cute. :wub: It's worth noting though that this behavior has shown up over time. Tatam didn't chatter for at least 1.5 years after we got him. But once he got really, really comfortable with us he started and it's only increased. He does it now even when we come home. What a great greeting!

Hubcitypam Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I'd say maybe one in about 4 or 5 I've seen chatter. Knitting is thankfully a bit more rare as far as I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest GreytOD Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 It seems Doctor P's chin is constantly set on vibrate... and with his huge over bite he doesn't really ever chatter, but every once and a while he will.

Mirage has an overbite, too. I've often wondered if the chin quiver might be the "over biter's" version of / attempt at chattering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest aowam Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Haha this is great! The quiver/chatter is just so darn cute. Maybe this should have gone in the "cute and funny things greyhounds do." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jacks_Human Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Jack chatters a lot. He did it the very first time he met me, and does it frequently (usually pressing up against me or putting his nose up to mine) and will now chatter when DBF pets him. He does the chin wiggle if there is even a hint of potential snacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
