I think it’d be safe to assume that when one gets a dog they know going into the purchase or adoption that there’s going to be some barking along the way.   Anyone who doesn’t is probably deluding themselves.   However, that doesn’t mean there aren’t some dog breeds that are quieter than others.  It’s perfectly acceptable to desire to have a dog that’s a little on the quieter side.   What if you have children or really sensitive neighbors?  You might want to do your research before the dog is welcomed into your home.  Thankfully Vetstreet has accumulated data from all the pet experts out there and come up with a list of the quietest dog breeds.  Here is the top ten….
