So I've been on this board for a while and always read about the Boxer "woo-woo". I always figured I didn't hear Zoe do it since she's a boxer-mix. But I have yet to hear anything I'd call a "woo-woo" come from Marshall either. Does anyone have video or audio of their pup making this noise? Maybe mine do it and I don't even know it! :LOL:

My boxer Boomer doesn't Woo Woo either. I think my dauschund has a boxer somewhere in his history, he woo woos all the time. Boomer just gives a small yip.

This is a good example -

Thank you! My Dogs don't do that!! I've heard Marshall do something sort of like that when Zoe has a toy or bone and he wants it, but definitely not quite like that. Very cute!

So do all/most Boxers woo-woo? Are mine totally weird?

The dog in this video sounds exactly like Juno, especially at around the 45 sec mark:
YouTube - Boxer Woo Woos

Juno typically only does it when she's playing. When she's playing with other dogs and barking at them, her last hurrah is usually a nice long "a-roo roo roo roo rooooo." I didn't really know it was a "boxer thing" so I could never understand why everyone laughs at her when she does it, like they've never heard it before lol.

Nope. :) Caney very rarely does it, she has to get REAL fired up about something and even then it's usually a lot of barking, whining and "talking" before an actual "woowoo" comes out. When it finally does though I get excited :) because it's so darn cute!

Creek on the other hand has never even come close to a woo-woo, she does however have this funny drawn-out whine that is such a riot :LOL: This is an old video of Creek whining:

If you've heard Marshall do it some to Zoe then maybe he will do it more as he gets older. I've found with Caney that the older she gets, the more comfortable she seems to be with her woo-ing. :) We have always encouraged the "cute" noises that come out of her so that probably has something to do with it too.

Creek and Lily must have gone to the same vocal coach! LOL Lily does this when she wants me to help her out the doggy door. She thought it was open one day and ran head first into it, now I have to get up and show her it's still open. LOL Silly Lily!

See, now this sounds like Marshall. he makes these funny noises when he's playing, but particularly when I give him a Bully Stick. It's like he gets frustrated and starts talking to it. I always say he sounds like a "rabid raccoon". Not that I know what one sounds like, but he doesn't sound like a dog when he gets going. So I guess he does do the "woo-woo" just not as extreme as some!

Oh my! Now THAT sound like Zoe. We were eating dinner downstairs while watching baseball last night and she was not happy to be left out. She stood by the baby gate making this very noise. Such a baby!! She'll do this when she realizes we're headed to the dog park too. I get about 1/4 mile away and she starts making this whining noise. It's so funny!

Sadie doesn't woo woo per se, but she does do this pitiful whine if I leave her alone too long. But it's nothing like Creek's!

That first video was EXACTLY like my Cairo. Reminded me of her precious woo-woo. I miss that girl.

Suki just wines, with the occasional woo thrown in for good measure. :)
