Before adopting a dog and taking it home, it is important to think about what the breed that we can offer the best conditions. A large dog in a small apartment will never be a good idea since, in general, these are dogs that need space and freedom to be happy.
In addition to size, it's important to look at other issues before adopting a dog. For example, how much exercise you need or you bark a lot. This last point matters a lot, as a neighbor may complain about the barking.
Therefore, in this PeritoAnimal article we will give you a list of dog breeds that bark little.
Basenji
This list is not sorted from less to more, but if we had to put a breed on the podium of puppies that bark little it would undoubtedly be the Basenji.

Besides, the fact that they bark very little does not mean that they are calm. Basenji are dogs with a lot of energy. Prepare some good sneakers, as you will have the privilege of enjoying with your furry friend some very long walks of active exercise.

Big Dogs = Silent Dogs?
As you may have noticed, with two exceptions, all the dogs on the list are large in size. Does this mean that small dogs bark more? No, but unfortunately, many small dog owners don't see much importance in educating their pets. Their reasoning is that by being small they won't be able to hurt anyone, so they don't need to be polite.
We are facing a big mistake since a dog needs training doses to be happy. Precisely, one of the causes that can motivate barking is poor socialization. Anyway, if your dog barks excessively, we recommend that you check out our advice to prevent the dog from barking.
