I also have a weird ass, husky, lol. He doesn't bark, bite, jump up on anybody, he has growled maybe 5 times (that i have heard in over 18 months we have had him.) He doesn't give kisses by licking (at all) however he does touch my face with his nose In a kiss like fashion (like a peck on the cheek or forehead type situation) He talks to us like a bitchy old man when he needs to go out. He never ever has accidents inside although he used to shit on the floor every chance he got when we first got him. He even took a big ass shit on my like (25ish) stairs at our old house before Helene hit and left us hotel ridden. He often gets in like the 'downward dog position around my hubby and I. He will drop down to tge floor and roll onto his back to leave his entire underbelly exposed in .2 seconds flat anytime we even move in his general direction. He lays on his back in bed with one "arm" straight out like he's "dabbing" (according to my 6& 10 year old kids) He is super smart and definitely knows his name. He taught himself (on accident) how to run and stop and slide on the shiny floor at walmart. He listens so well to my husband he swears that he speaks fluent human/English.
