No dog owner would like to disturb the neighbors with loud barking all the time. Not only will your neighbors be kept awake, you will too. As much as loud dogs are advantageous in chasing intruders away, calm and quiet dogs are better companions. Of course there are quiet dogs with personality, but excessive barking is not pretty for a nice neighborhood. For those looking for animal companions that are quiet yet strong, aren’t there dog breeds that fit the description?
