Don't worry, I'm not going to ask what breed she is, I know she's a mix - she's even a DSH with long white hairs in patches...
My question is this: Are there some breeds that are more likely to "chirp" or "squeak" rather than actually meow? The only time I have EVER heard her full-out meow is when she is incredibly upset and that's a mournful mrrrrooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuu. She isn't very vocal but when I'm asking her to please get off the counter, she offers her chirpy rebuttals to everything I say...I kid you not.
I read about a "chartreux" but she doesn't appear to have any of the characteristics. My vet suspects she may have some Maine Coon in her - I wish I could post a photo of her, she's very interesting looking and smart as all get out!
She is also enormous for a 6 month old female. She's already as large as my 20 year old and my 1 1/2 year old DSHs...both female.
Thanks. I'm sure you get a million questions similar to this.
