Summary
There’s no such thing as a barkless dog, through the Basenji and its yodeling comes close. Quiet dog breeds may also be calm in temperament, but will gladly bark to alert you to an intruder, a missed meal or an urge to play. Finally, as always, remember that every dog is an individual. Barking is one of many traits that can vary within a breed.
