i am not sure what chuffing noise you are talking about.
I know pits and shortsnout breeds do different vocalizations than my longsnout dogs.
The signs my dogs make that dont involve tongue or tail for similar emotions are:
- the butt up chest down stretch
- the aforementioned shake
- deep breath
- an mhm breath which can be nuanced to mhmhmhmhm occasionally
i know the first three have an aspect of innateness because i have seen disconnected dogs do the same for the same sort of experience. I am unsure of the mhm because i have not seen dogs outside my own culture of dogs do it so it may be cultural. They may or may not idk. Don’t know the chuffing tho
