Silence Guaranteed: 5 Dog Breeds That Don't Bark
27.11.2024 14:58
Barking is a natural way for dogs to express anxiety, show that they need attention, or want to communicate something important to their owner.
But not all people like it if their (or their neighbor's) pet starts barking loudly every now and then.
To make your pet silent, you should not only pay due attention to its training, but also carefully approach the choice of breed.
We have compiled a list of the top 5 dog breeds that don’t bark too much – they will be ideal pets for living in an apartment.
Bernese Mountain Dog
Originally bred as a working breed, the dogs were used as helpers on Swiss farms. Now these gentle giants feel great in families thanks to their balanced nature.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
You are probably already familiar with this breed if you have ever watched the TV series "Sex and the City", because one of the main characters, Charlotte, had such a pet. These are quiet, friendly and charming dogs that rarely bark.
Bulldog
Strong-looking dogs are unlikely to become a source of noise in your apartment, as they are content to spend time dozing on a soft sofa.
Basenji
Basenjis are literally "non-barking dogs." This characteristic was given to them because they make minimal noise. However, representatives of this breed cannot be called completely mute - from time to time they make strange sounds.
Shih Tzu
Small dog breeds are often considered noisy, but that's not always the case. Shih Tzus, for example, are known for being quiet—they once lived with the Chinese imperial family, so their centuries of experience with humans make them great roommates.
For reference
Barking is a sound typically made by dogs, although the same word is sometimes used to describe similar sounds made by wolves, foxes, martens, pinnipeds, and the barking owl.
