Howard the Mutt
Wait! Before you click on this, test and adjust your volume! This was filmed on a cell phone camcorder, and it can sound weird on computer speakers!
Since I was asked what my current furry roommate looks like, I tried to find some pictures on my hard drive. That was a bust, so here's a video from last year's Test of the Sirens. He does this every month, but I'm never around for it due to school. I have better videos, but no way to convert them so I can edit them.
Anyhoodle, he starts howling about3/4 of the way through. If you listen hard enough you can hear my brother and I laughing in the background. I think he has such an interesting howl, it's more like a yodel or something.
(Also, from what I understand, most NK dogs don't make a lot of noise in general. Another quality with which to convert/convince my mother!)

Howard is very cute.
@Saya I love the shiba scream! If you ever catch Saya yodeling I'd love to see some video. I find that spitz dogs tend to be "singers". *squee* @WhoBitMe I too have a huge weakness for howling dogs. Howard here is the best alarmist around. ^-^ He also wishes to tell you thanks for the compliment. I've actually gotten him to warble a little bit by mimicking the siren with my voice (I used to do that for vocal exercise) but the jig was up once he realized it was me and not the "other dogs" off in the distance. XD I think it's safe to say that seeing the source of the noise that causes the reaction. That and Howie is smarter than we like to give him credit for.
Maybe there's a camera shop that can fix it.. Or buy a new one.. I'd love a new camera that's water proof so I can take it to the lake or places like that without worrying about it breaking..
He did have a bit of a barking reaction at 9 mos. old, but it was easy to teach him that it was unacceptable. He only did it at night walking when I think he couldn't really see the people.
My parent's female sings! She sings to herself in her crate. She'll look out the front window and sing. I've heard of a few other females in the US that do this. It really is a nice noise though. She does it when she's fully content and happy and it usually brings a big ol' smile to my face.
