I don't know what makes a dog purr but my 5 year old Scottie purrs when he is happy about something. He has always done this. I can't describe the sound but it is somewhat like a loud but soft purr, soft trill type thing where you think the vocal cords are vibrating. The dog does it sometimes when you throw the ball for him, open a door for him to come in or go out, clean his hinny after #2. Just any number of things where it seems he is saying "I am so happy with you!" It is definitely not a growl.

What is the temperament of a serval cat?
Just like domestic cat breeds, serval cats are lively and very playful. They can become very affectionate and devoted to their owners. They have a loud purr and express affection with adorable head butts. Instead of a meow, they make a chirping sound. Some of their traits make them sort of like a dog. They can be trained to walk on a leash, and they love to play fetch just like a dog. So, with the right training they can be very lovable. I hope this helped!
