QuestionWe are moving into a unit and want to get a dog, approx. 1 year old that doesn't bark. Is there specific breeds who either don't bark or don't bark a lot. Thank you
AnswerLab usually aren't problem barkers. Avoid terriers or hounds.
One of the best sources for dogs with a predictable personality is the rescue dogs. These are dogs that lost their home, but were taken into a foster home to be retrained as necessary and placed in the right home for them. You may find a rescue near you starting at http://www.akc.org/breeds/rescue.cfm The rescues charge a fee to help cover their expenses, but is much less than the price of a puppy plus all its medical expenses the first year.
