Veterinarians name 5 dog breeds that bark the most

Miniature Schnauzer

Due to their slightly smaller size, Miniature Schnauzers are a popular choice for pets. However, experts say the breed can become noisy if not properly cared for.

They're very intelligent dogs that make great pets. They can bark loudly if they don't get enough physical activity.

Since they were bred as guard dogs, it's important to calm them down when they bark anxiously. Otherwise, they might bark at every unfamiliar sound they hear or at any person they meet.

Siberian Huskies

Siberian Huskies, known for their tolerance to extreme cold, are considered sled dogs.

However, veterinarians say they're naturally very noisy.

Siberian Huskies are highly energetic and talkative breed, preferring to howl rather than bark. This is because the breed is pack-oriented.

Samoyeds

Deep-rooted animal instincts deliberately bred into dogs are one reason why they can be noisier than others. However, in the case of breeds like Samoyeds, it may also be related to other genetic factors.

"This breed is closely related to the wolf, and they will howl at almost any sound," said veterinarian Sally Grottini.

Australian Shepherd

These are very intelligent dogs, but they can be louder than others.

"Aussies are herding dogs at heart and use their bark to control and direct livestock," added the veterinarian.

Yorkshire Terrier

Yorkshire Terriers are bold and aggressive, with a tendency to bark at unfamiliar sounds or perceived threats. Early socialization and positive reinforcement training can help curb their tendency to bark and channel their energy into more constructive behavior.
