24 de jun. de 2024 · While you can train any dog to bark less, you'll improve your odds of having a quiet dog by selecting a breed with a low tendency to bark. Here are 25 generally quiet dog breeds that make great companions, especially if your neighbors are sensitive to noise.
- Small Quiet Dogs
- Medium Quiet Dogs
- Large Quiet Dogs
1. Chinese Crested
A hypoallergenic dog, these four-legged family members have a mane of hair, and then a poof on the tail. The rest of the body is hairless. There is also a recessive version, the Powderpuff, which is covered in hair. You will be happy to know that both versions rarely bark. They are happy go-lucky pups that are satisfied playing with the kids or cuddling on the couch. Prone to separation anxiety, they may whine when left alone.
2. Norwegian Lundehund
These acrobatic canines have toes that are double, and even triple, jointed. They also have extra neck joints that allow them to turn their head around 180 degrees. They can climb cliffs, bookshelves, and fences. They are hard to handle, but one benefit they have is they rarely bark or howl. More cat-like, they are the strong, silent type. Lunderhounds still make good watch dogs as their wary of strangers and will sound an alarm.
3. Havanese
Developed strictly to be a lapdog, the Havanese has all the great characteristics of a canine that is taken everywhere – including a low desire to bark. Just like people, dogs have different personalities, but if you get a more talkative one, these pups are highly trainable. As a popular breed, there are many disreputable and irresponsible breeders out there. Make sure you get your pup from a responsible breeder so that the traits of your new dog are predictable.
9. Basenji
Well known as the “barkless” dog, the Basenji still makes some noise. That noise is described as something like a yodel, but they are still classified with the quiet dogs. While they may not use their mouth for a variety of noises, they will use it to chew. You must take care to always keep everything put away. Even with training, this breed has trouble curbing that desire. They are an ancient breed from Egypt, and they have the arrogance and independence to match.
10. Border Collie
A traditional herding dog, these canines still try to herd everything – cats, children, other dogs, etc. While doing this, they will make yipping noises – a type of short bark. It's not surprising to see these intelligent and energetic dogs on the list of quiet of dog breeds. These canines are very smartand need to stay busy. Not only do they need to be physically active, but they need to be mentally active. If they don’t have “jobs” to perform, they can become destructive and loud.
11. Clumber Spaniel
Not a terribly popular breed, this dog still has a lot of great characteristics. One of these is the fact that it hardly ever barks. They will alert you to unusual activity, but they won’t participate in rowdy or nuisance barking. With the droopy hound dog look perfected, they have a calm, quiet demeanor to match. In fact, they are downright lazy. They still like to play fetch and take walks, but they cannot sustain jogging or running due to hip structure.
15. Black Russian Terrier
Not a typical tiny terrier, these four-legged family members can reach 145 pounds. Bred as guard dogs, these confident canines don’t need to make a lot of noise to make their presence known. Like a typical guard breed, they are aloof with strangers and can be that way with other dogs. They do not like younger, energetic children. “Blackies” are independent, but they need constant human companionship to keep from becoming loud or aggressive.
16. Great Dane
These slim, muscular dogs are elegant, and big. On their hind legs, they stand taller than most humans. Love-able and friendly, the Dane is not easily frightened and will not start the bark at every little noise; however, they will bark if a stranger is getting too close to its territory. While mild mannered and calm, these fur-babies still need daily exercise and play to keep from becoming destructive and possibly begin boredom barking. While they are one of the most quiet dogs, they won't b...
17. Borzoi
This unique looking dog is also one of the most quiet breeds. A typical sighthound, what this dog lacks in vocal ability, he makes up for in speed and agility. These pooches need a tall, sturdy fence, and must never be off-leash. Not a good watchdog, these pups won’t even bark if an intruder is approaching. While they are gentle and need human companionship, they are awkward around children and need to be socialized.
