Answer 1

I think you are referring to this report -

http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/newsid_4700000/newsid_4709400/4709464.stm

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/tm_objectid=16697019&method=full&siteid=94762&headline=barking---name_page.html

If you are asking my own opinion as to the validity of this report I can only say when I searched for this the first two sites that came up were Newsround (a kids news programme) and the Mirror (ahem......) I'm sure most of the papers carried it though, could be true but who knows.

Apparently cows pick up accents aswell.

Answer 2

No. But they do have some comprehension problems I think!!!

I just brought a puppy from Quebec and she was talked to only in French. She barks the same, but seemed confused when she was spoken to in English. After a few days now, she seems to have adjusted!

Answer 3

Yes, dogs teach each other to bark. Dogs in remote areas all make the same sounds.

Yes, they do bark in, what you refer to as, their native language - they respond to what we teach them, a form of communication
