One of the most common dog commands: "voice". It's good when your pet knows it and barks only when you ask. But what if the dog likes to “talk” so much that its mouth won’t close? Not everyone will like it. Look for the quietest and most silent dogs.
Basenji
Positioned as one of the quietest dog breeds. The thing is, basenjis can't bark at all. But you can't call them absolutely silent. When they are excited, for example, they can make a funny sound, reminiscent of the national Tyrolean singing (yodel). Yes, yes, these are the very overflows, which it is not at all clear how the human throat emits (and it is not clear how the dog's throat is adapted to this). It is with such “songs”, as well as periodic squeals and whines, that the Basenji communicate with the outside world.
Dogs of this breed are distinguished by the desire for independence, they can even be stubborn if they believe that the truth is on their side, so the Basenji needs a master with a very strong will.
Akita Inu
The dog that played Hachiko is impossible not to love. You can immediately see how smart, devoted and noble they are, no words are needed, everything is written on the face. However, you need to know that it will take a lot of time to raise an Akita. And this independent dog will choose its own owner. But, like in the movie, for the rest of your life. And if this dog has already given a voice, it means that he wants to warn his man about something.
Akita Inu is the oldest breed of dog. They are distinguished by their own, independent thinking and the ability to make decisions independently. This property of the Akita's character is often mistaken for stubbornness. They learn easily and quickly grasp new knowledge, but like all too smart students, they quickly get bored if you repeat the same thing to them.
Akita is not afraid of heights, so make sure that the growing puppy does not have access to the balcony if you live in a high-rise building. In general, it will be hard for an Akita in an apartment. This is far from the smallest and very active dog, he needs movement, nature, new experiences.
Bernese Mountain Dog
Great sennenhunds know how to behave quietly. And why should they once again open their mouths when their dimensions speak for themselves? Sennenhunds, if they vote, then only on business. These are very peaceful and friendly dogs, they only cause problems with increased activity in their youth, and when they grow up and mature, they noticeably calm down.
The Bernese Mountain Dog is calm, unobtrusive and calm, but this does not mean that he does not have warm feelings for the owner. He will gladly carry a shopping bag and, if necessary, protect his man from dogs.
Sennenhunds can be safely trusted with kids, they allow them almost everything, they are very patient and kind dogs. By the way, they make excellent animators if you teach a dog to walk in a harness: he will be happy to ride children in a cart or sled.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
These cuties are great companions. They almost never have a bad mood. So why bark at all then? And they do not know what it is - the desire to dominate and be leaders.
Because they don't "show things off" with other dogs. They are, in general, typical extroverts, and are ready to be friends with all the people they meet, as well as with all pets
When you see such a dog, she can strike you with her charm at first sight. Hold on, otherwise you will “break down” and bring home a professional comforter - this is how dogs of this breed are also called for their ability to “caress” the owner qualitatively.
Chow Chow
Probably if you were looking for Zen Buddhist dogs, you would find them in the Chow Chow breed. And what else can be a dog that licked the edge of the sky? This is from the legend of the blue chow tongue. They are really calm, slow and thoughtful. These dogs are very silent, and they will definitely not disturb your neighbors, as well as give you trouble with unreasonable barking.
Chow Chow is one of the oldest breeds that appeared in China more than 2 thousand years ago. Once upon a time, chow chows were used as watchdogs, hunting and even fighting dogs. And if you need to fight with someone to protect the owner, the fearless chow will do it without hesitation. Ancestral genes are showing.
Well, now these dogs, as we said, caught the zen. Therefore, they calmly watch how the fire burns, water flows and the mood of the owner changes. By the way, about the mood. Having retrained as a companion, chow chows have become tough empaths, the owners say their pets instantly sense when the owner is upset or unwell. Is it possible to bark at such a moment? Yes, and in other minutes - too.
