| That's completely normal! It can happen with fear, defensiveness, or aggression. It's called "hackling up". The hair from the neck to the rear end can stand on end to make the dog look bigger to whatever it thinks is threatening it.
No worries.

If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you; that is the principal difference between a dog & a man.

| I didn't know they get a straight line like that! Red only gets a patch right over his shoulder blades that stands up, no line down his body. I guess they're all different  | |

 | Roxy gets both...the straight line down her head and the tuft that stands up on her shoulder blades. It makes me laugh when it happens and I always tell her how much bigger she looks, as I know that's the intent, but on dobes, it just doesn't seem to do that! My boyfriends dog is a lab/chow mix, and when her hair stands up, she really does look bigger. It's more obvious when furrier animals do it; think of a cat...they tend to look a bit bigger when they raise their fur. | |
