For a long time, you have been wanting to adopt a dog for a pet.
But you are worried that your neighbors may not appreciate it since dogs are known for their noisy barks and howls.
Must you give up on this cherished dream if it would add to your personal happiness? Of course not! All you have to do is avoid the noisy breeds.
Here’s a list of those dog breeds that are known for being the worst barkers, whiners, and howlers:
- Alaskan Malamute. One of the most dignified-looking dog breed that is also playful, hard-working, and loyal. An Alaskan Malamute is not known for barking. Its problem is loud howling and it also tends to be bossy. That’s why if you should choose this breed, be ready to be an Alpha.
- Australian Shepherd. This is a ranch dog so you can expect it to need regular exercise. When this need for an active lifestyle is not met, you can expect this dog to constantly call your attention with barks and whines.
- Appenzeller Sennenhund. This breed is a medium-sized herding dog with a muscular body and loyal nature. This dog is excellent as a watch dog, but it does bark loudly at strangers. It must be trained at an early age to develop its social skills.
- Vizsla. This breed is the pride of sportsmen in Hungary for their agility, passion for hard work, and loyalty. But this dog does not like being left on its own, it tends to whine and moan to constantly get its owner’s attention.
- Keeshond. This dog breed symbolizes the patriotism of the Dutch citizens. In the past, these dogs were often seen aboard Dutch barges as guards and companions. Today, Keeshond remains popular for its amiable spirit and intelligence. But loud barking at strangers is often the complaint by other people.
- Basset hound. Dog lovers all over the world adore this breed. It’s charming, but with a stubborn spirit. The common complaint about this dog is its loud barking, howling, moaning, and whining.
- Australian terrier. This dog is known for its exuberant spirit. It loves digging around to suit its ever-curious nature, playing, chasing, and barking.
- American Eskimo Dog. This is a beauty-and-brain dog breed, which you cannot simply resist. However, expect its agility and spirited nature to be combined with noisiness.
- American Fox Hound. Another lovely breed with rich history that ties it to the Revolutionary heroes. They are great companions for kids and friendly with other animals including cats. However, it’s the loudness of their bark that often annoys people.
- American English Coonhound. Being a loyal and agile companion to hunters, this is another breed that is admired for its strenght, speed, and hunting skills. But, just like the American Fox Hound, it is known for being a loud bawler.
