Just wondering if it's normal for puppies to not have barked but maybe twice since I've had them. They are both about 14 weeks old. A random puppy showed up in my neighborhood the other day much younger and smaller and was barking quite a bit so it made me wonder? Any comments?

Sorry more like 16-17 weeks old

Stosh rarely barked when he was little, now at 8 mos he's discovering how and when to bark, what kind of results he gets from it. Your pup will use his bark soon enough.

luno was the same he is 5 1/2 months and only barks when he want to play with other dogs and even then that is rare. He only started this reaction maybe a few weeks ago. he barked at a stranger for the first time yesterday, instead of running up and licking him to death:wild:

Haha thanks for the input. This makes me feel better about my dogs being normal haha

My Navah didnt bark much when she was a pup... once she hit about 5.5 months - 6 months.... lets just say shes barks WAYYYY too much lol. I thought i was lucky with a non barking pup... i was wrong LOL. Its something we are working on now.

Stryder didn't really start barking until about 8 months, he would just sit and take in everything. Now he will bark occasionally, but even if the neighborhood dogs are carrying on, he usually ignores them. He is more of a mumbler though, mumble, mumble, mumble...

Harley learned to bark as he got older, Annie was born barking.

Consider yourself lucky...my Abby is a bark-o-matic.
The first week I had her she went into 5 minutes of
nonstop barking every time the refrigerator kicked on.

Every noise starts her into automatic alarm mode.
And its an alarm that works 24/7...

Minna was born barking -- it never stops.
Sobacca didn't bark until he was 8+ months old, I don't remember exactly.

If you would like to trade with me for a barker, there is Pain1 and Pain2 I would be willing to bargain with.
