I have a female GSD/Bloodhound mix that is 7 months old. She can indeed bark, when her brother and her are together they bark at each other when playing. Ive noticed that she doesnt bark at animals or people when they are near or on the property. All our other dogs will bark if they notice someone driving up the driveway or walking down our street (we live in a rural area so its rare for someone to do so). I would like to encourage her to speak when a vehicle is in the drive.

My Frankie is 14 months old. Today he barked for the first time at a person walking past the car. We were at the feed store and I had just gotten back in the car. There was a car next to us on my driver's side. A woman walked between our two vehicles and Frankie barked as she walked by. One, solid bark and that was it. Kind of cool.
