Ours is 18 so he also sleeps a lot but he is on alert for any animals prowling around the homestead. He starts running back and forth and yowling when they comes on HIS property.
You can pretty much tell what is out there by his tone. His most savage tone is reserved for coyotes. The neighbor's dog is mostly ignored although his head will go up.
