Dog breeds that bark little
A dog that doesn't bark doesn't exist (and one that never warns you isn't such a good idea either). What does exist is the one that saves its voice: these 18 breeds score 1 or 2 in barking.

Barking little isn't being silent: some breeds on this list snore, snort or howl. And every dog barks more when it's bored.
