My puppy gets this high pitched bark when he gets scared... it's actually pretty adorable. Then his regular low pitched GRRR barking when he is angry or in protection mode, even though he's not capable of hurting a fly!!! Why is this?

My dog is very vocal. Sometimes I wish he wasn't so "talkative".
He has his "watch dog" bark. He thinks he is guarding when using that bark. One would think he was a Doberman instead of a Maltese.
He has his "play with me NOW" bark with a toy hanging out the side of his mouth.
He has his "I want food" bark followed by running to the kitchen.
He has his "I want to go outside" bark while he is running around in circles.
He has his "it is time for bed" bark. He goes to bed and barks until a human joins him.
He has a bark type cry/howl when he is scared or embarrassed.
Yes, indeed, he is a one heck of a communicating dog. There is no doubt what he wants. If you ignore him, wait a minute and he
will tell you again and again and again and again. Well, you get the idea. I love that dog !!!

Q. Are beagles noisy? How do I keep my beagle from barking so much?! A. Like all hounds, beagles have a distinctive 'baying' howl rather than a traditional bark. Some beagles like to bark a lot, others not so much – just like any other dog. If you find your beagle has become a nuisance barker, there are many steps you can take to correct the problem. First and foremost, make sure your beagle receives enough attention and stimulation throughout the day to prevent boredom. Second, citronella collars, which squirt citronella in the dog's nose if the dog barks for an extended period of time, are a humane option should barking become a serious problem.

I dont have a pet dog but I think I can answer your question. All animals have a way of expression. In case of barking by dogs, it is also a way of expression. So naturaly, the tone, the length etc etc changes when expressing different behaviors. Even though your dog is not capable of hunting a fly (as u said), it is natural for them to produce that low pitched GRRR barking. All animals in the animal kingdom have a tendency to protect their own territory, So when some other animals invade their territory, they are very alert. So the behavior of your dog is natural. Don't worry about that.

When they're playing the high pitch voice they use is sorta like a person uses when they are happy and excited about something.When they use the Grrrr sound that means they're in the warning mode and to BACK off.Being as they can't talk,this is the only way they can communicate with people or other animals.

She has a bark when someone comes to the door, she had another when she is in the back yard and wants in, she has one when she plays that is kinda a growl bark and the one she uses to get in the door a quick one syllable bark is the same one she uses to call for the neighbor dog through the fence when he isn't outside already.

Your puppy is showing you how it communicates. Don't discourage puppy when they're trying to tell you something, it's for a reason.
My puppy barks incessantly when someone new gets too close, and yips in a happy way when she's chasing the next-door-neighbors puppies up and down the fence. She's just letting me know how she feels.

when my dog's scared, he has short "ruff,ruff, whines, and turns his head to me and watch my reaction. When I respond by getting up, or ask him "what's the matter?" He wags his tail, softly moves all four legs and expects me to find out what is it that he's ruffing at. When he is playing, he's anxious, he misses the masters attention and discipline; he'll "Bark!" bark!".." Bark!, bark!" "Bark! bark!, bark!" at me, at people, or take a shoe or sock and mess it up, etc. When he's protective, he'll growl, showing his side teeth, stare at the objective and take a stance.
Answer to the question...yes,

the sound the dog produces has to do with its breath, and movement according to their body response to each situation. It's higher when they feel threatened, or if it is a brave little fellow they can bark very deeply. I had a dog who went out of tune whenever it felt threatened.

Yes all dogs have different voices. Its a way to tell you what they are feeling at that time just like they did in the wild.

It's just built in like a baby's crying. A baby has different kinds of crying for hunger, fear, crankiness when tired, or being sick, etc. Just ask any mother or neonatal nurse.
