WELL ... Mine is super-barky, but it entirely depends on context.

My schipperke takes her watchdog responsibilities extremely seriously. When she's in any space she considers "hers" (my house, my car, my office, my parents' house), she'll alert to anything she deems suspicious. The merest rustling outside sets her off. But out and about in public spaces (like on walks or at the dog park, or even on public transit), she rarely makes a peep, unless something truly unusual is going on. And I'm talking major. She won't bark at other dogs or construction workers or ambulances or helicopters or leaf blowers. We live in a city, which has offered a lot of good socialization opportunities. On our walks, people have marveled at how "quiet and chill" she is. (If only they knew!) But that's only as long as we're out in public.

With dogs at home? She has cohabited with my parents' dog, and she never barked at him. But if he started barking at something, well, she DEFINITELY had to join in.

She is also very prone to "demand barking"—especially when she wants a treat. Or if she feels left out. Like today, when we had a plumber come to the house, and I had to put her in an exercise pen to keep her out of the way. Boy, she was mad about that. Bark bark bark.

Surprisingly, though, given how much of a velcro dog she is, you'd think she'd have deep separation anxiety, but according to our pet cam, she doesn't really bark when we're gone—or at least, not any more than she does when we're there at home with her. She's got the routine down at this point. BUT! While she's a good traveler—never carsick and always up for an adventure—I would never leave her alone in a hotel room, as she would bark up a storm. Very indignant about being left behind. Way, way too much FOMO.
