[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was walking in my neighborhood yesterday, listening to an audiobook and not really paying much attention to my surroundings.  I was startled by rapid movement in my periphery, and looked up to see a large schnauzer-looking dog coming toward me very quickly.  Bizarrely, it wasn’t running, but rather hopping.  Great big hops just like an enormous rabbit.  It stopped a few feet away (presumably the yard had an electric fence) and just stared at me. No barking and no aggressive movement.

When I carried on with walking, it hopped along parallel to me until it got to the end of its yard.  When I looked back, it was still staring at me, and I had the strong sense that it was hoping we could strike up a conversation.

Is it normal for schnauzers to hop? Do you think it was being quietly aggressive and defending its territory? Or maybe just bored and looking for company? The whole thing was so freaky—half terrifying and half funny. I wish I knew the neighbors so I could get the story on this dog.

I had a part schnauzer mutt in my 20s. He would hop, it was hilarious to watch. He could also spring from the ground right through the window of my pickup truck into my lap. [/quote]
