I am thinking more along the line of different breeds than countries.
A Cocker Spaniel would sound more bow-wow.
That is different from a German Shepherd's woof woof.
So there is the dogie accents.

If they did have accents it wouldn't make much difference sense there communication with one another is different than our own. The communication would be on the same level of you understanding that a French lady is sad because she is crying, or a Asian man is angry because he is red faced and yelling, or that a Canadian man is about to attack you because he is running at you with his fist balled up.
Though I'm sure they understand human voices in accents.

It would make sense that they do. If not "accents", different barking patterns. Barking is a natural, but also a learned behavior, just like bird songs. If you isolate a bird from birth, it has
a different song pattern than its wild cousins.
Also, I travel to many different countries, and have noticed differences in the amount of barking, and that is what I am basing my hypothesis on.

Yes. I once read in a column of The Times of India that they do.
They have different accents, depending upon their country, master, etc.
This is also true for other species, like cats, elephants, monkeys etc.

i don't know about the rest of you guys, but my dog certainly doesn't have accents other than those my niece puts on him...lipstick on his ears, a necklace, a bonnet, sometimes sunglasses. and if he's lucky enough, lip balm on his nose, too. oh, and before i forget, he gets a pedicure and pink nailpolish at times. then off they trot to the park where they converse in sign language. my niece is deaf-mute.

I believe they do cuz the dogs here in germany wont respond unless u talk to them in german. Like if i was to tell a dog "sit" well he would just look at u dumb. I would have to tell a dog "platz" so...

i would say so, it's more of the 'sound' that matters to them, they get used to some comands and expresions and get used to how they are supposed to react to it... so the 'sound' of your word is what they depend on. not exactly 'accents'. woof!

No way - they are only faithful, not patriots or nationalists.
On the other hand, yes, of course, why not? After all. just like us, the barking ones don't bite.

LOL thats cute.
I don't know about dogs. But I know that cats don't say "meow" in french, they say "mew" (except I don't know how to spell it.. but it sounds like "myou")
