Rajko(almost 4 months old) has done a ton of bonding with me, my family, and some close friends in the time that I have had him. He is an extremely playful, well socialized, sweet pup to everyone that he meets both friends and strangers, big and small.
I am starting to see little hints of him being protective/territorial with his "pack". For instance, we were hanging out on the front lawn last night at my friends house, and across the street(about 100 feet away) a woman was fumbling with her trash cans at the side of her house. Rajko perked right up, gave a little growl, and then a few barks. He didn't make any attempt to approach her at all, just sat there next to me and did that.
Another example is about 5 minutes ago, as I sit here on the computer next to my open window, Rajko is near my feet in his crate asleep. It sounded like a kid ran by outside, cause I could hear footsteps on the sidewalk. Rajko woke up, gave another deep growl, and a quick bark, and then relaxed. Similar to last night.
Is this normal behavior for 4 months old? Like I said he exhibits zero aggressiveness to any human being ever, he's only done these things at times when something was "strange" in sound or appearance...I wonder if he can sense it in me that something is peculiar.
