I knew a lady a few years back that had a dog which it's voice box had been removed. Apparently he was quite the "barker" as you put it! As far as your neighbors dog, well, you'd really have to ask your neighbor!!

i have a dog who doesn't bark but its just his nature not to. I'm not real sure why cause we have another who does bark at everything. maybe its just the nature of the dog not to. and there are also some breeds of dogs who don't bark. or the vets can do an operation so the dogs don't bark. its probably just the nature of that dog. i wouldn't worry at least its a quiet dog. :)

some dogs just aren't barkers, whereas others you just can't shut the little ******** up! Also depends on the breed of dog too. I have a staffordshire terrier, he's nearly 5 and he never barks. The only time he does is when I turn the hose on and he runs under the running water. He loves it, but he's very much a dumbarse of a dog. And that's why I love him so!!

I think it a bit sad that your neighbours dog doesn't bark. Barking is such a natural thing for dogs to do. Cats meow, birds chirp, cows moo and dogs bark. I hope it just chooses not to and hasn't been FORCED not to. My dog barks TOO much and I'm trying to teach him to minimise it but I'm glad he CAN. Maybe you should ask your neighbour. Great ice breaking question.

it could be a besinji-which is a breed of dog that does not have the ability to bark. Consider yourself lucky though-my neighbor has a dg that cant be quiet

Your neighbour's dog may well be well trained or doesnt feel the need to bark. My young dog has only barked twice and they both more "wuffs"
Basenji's may not bark, but they yodel. This sound can be worse than barking.
Dingos howl and "yip"

It's normal. My dog also didn't bark before until one day, we bought a new puppy, and then she started to bark.

some dogs don't... if the dog looks something like the ones in this photo- a basenji dog, it has the inability to bark

Dingoes don't bark. Does it have yellow fur and a fondness for babies?
