Gentle, friendly and particularly calm: ten dog breeds from Shih Tzu to Labrador that are known for their quiet nature.
1 / 10Probably the oldest dog breed in the world is unique: the Basenji cannot bark at all, only howls (or yodels).

2 / 10The Shih Tzu carefully guards the house.
But he is more likely to cuddle with the burglar than bark loudly.

3 / 10The Great Dane is one of the largest dog breeds and is an impressive presence.
The giant lapdog therefore has no need to impress by barking.

Would you like to adopt a dog but prefer it to be quiet or are you worried that the neighbors will be bothered by loud barking?
Then you should choose one of these ten breeds - these dogs are known for not being particularly communicative.
The reasons for this vary: some giants like the Newfoundland dog simply do not need to attract attention in any other way for visual reasons alone.
Companions like the Labradoodle have a naturally sunny disposition, but hunting dogs need to be quiet when working.
The Basenji, on the other hand, cannot bark at all - he is anatomically unable to do so.

An old folk wisdom says that small dogs bark more than big ones.
This is not necessarily true, because some minis are also gentle companions.
However, among the small breeds there are some who bark a lot and will certainly give you little peace and quiet.
These include breeds such as the Beagle, the Jack Russell Terrier and the Miniature Schnauzer.
But the German Shepherd also likes to keep his flock together with loud barking.
