:O I saw my DP half-puff today. For no reason too. I was feeding them like I usually do and I guess he got really excited about it or something, lol. He half puffed and then went back to normal size a second later. I wish I would have had time to take a picture, it was kind of adorable.

Even an adult GSP wouldn't have spikes that long. Schoutedeni, maybe?

It doesn't look big enough to be a Schoutedeni (I thought they only get like 3.5", but correct me if I'm wrong), and I'd think the spines would be about the same.

With spines that big wouldn't it have to be something with very visible spines normally like a Porc?

It would be cute to see something as small as a dwarf puffer puff up. He would look like a little marble.
