As People Magazine reports: Based on the numbers gathered from Furbo users, Samoyed dogs bark the most, often up 52.8 times every day. The second chattiest canine, the Yorkshire Terrier, doesn't come close to the Samoyed's record… the little dogs bark about 23.6 times a day.
1) Border Collie
Border Collies were originally bred as working dogs and certainly have the energy level to prove it! While they make good family pets, make sure to get them exercise. Without exercise, Border Collies (and all of the dogs on this list) will get bored.
The Border Collie is easily number one our list, and the same can be said for other lists you will find. This breed requires both mental and physical exercise to stay happy and healthy. As a responsible Border Collie owner, it's your due diligence to ensure that they get training time and exercise they need to thrive.
All dogs, from basset hounds to Great Danes, get the zoomies. Puppies and young dogs may zip around more often simply because they have more energy to burn than older dogs.
1 – Basenji: The Barkless Dog
The Basenji or Africa's “Barkless Dog” is a unique breed and contender for the title of oldest AKC breed. While it's true the Basenji doesn't bark, when they express themselves they make a unique sound that is something between a chortle and a yodel.
The basenji is literally known as the "barkless dog" because they make so little noise, but the breed's not completely mute. When they do decide to speak up, the hounds make odd noises that sound similar to yodels.
A dog may bark to express how they're feeling - for example, when they're excited, frustrated, bored or scared. If a dog feels threatened, they may bark to tell somebody to stay away or to leave. Other times, dogs may bark because they want something in particular, such as their favourite toy.
Charlie, the Loudest Barking Dog!
According to Guinness World Records, Charlie, a lovely Golden Retriever owned by Belinda Freebairn, reached a whopping 113.1 decibels during the Purina "Bark in the Park" event held in Australia.
#1 – Afghan Hound
These sighthounds needed to think for themselves to keep track of the prey instead of looking to their owner for direction. These days, those traits are displayed as being aloof and independent. They make up for their lack of obedience by being extremely affectionate and loyal.
Siberian Husky
Since they are used to working in packs, Huskies have a natural tendency to use their voice to communicate to their comrades. How does this translate in a human pack? A lot of howling and vocal expression. Make no mistake, a husky will never hesitate to let you know what's going through their mind.
Other poor choices around little kids are lumbering giant breeds like bullmastiffs or Saint Bernards, which tend to bowl over toddling children or most anything in their path. Another breed that gets defensive around children are the smaller, toy breeds that fear for their safety around rambunctious kids.
Can a Dog Have Autism? While some of these behaviors are unique to humans, researchers have found that, in fact, ASD can occur in dogs, but it's called canine dysfunctional behavior (CDB). Researchers believe that canine dysfunctional behavior is an idiopathic condition, meaning that the cause is unknown.
Glen of Imaal Terrier
This native Irish breed of dog is known for being gentler in disposition than most other terriers. Glens do not usually bark much as these small terriers were bred to be silent while working.
Rhodesian Ridgeback
It is a rather large dog breed, but it compensates for the silence. Ridgebacks are known as silent dogs that rarely bark or howl. Of course, they have their communication moments, but they can be easily overcome through training.
When your pup turns his butt to you, he's making himself vulnerable. “They cannot easily defend themselves from you if they are not facing you,” Moucha added. “So when they turn their butt towards you, they trust you to not hurt them.”
Licking is a natural and instinctive behaviour to dogs. For them it's a way of grooming, bonding, and expressing themselves. Your dog may lick you to say they love you, to get your attention, to help soothe themselves if they're stressed, to show empathy or because you taste good to them!
Dr. Zac Pilossoph, a consulting veterinarian at Healthy Paws Pet Insurance, defines the zoomies as "a dog's way of explaining they're excited and happy, enough to want to show it." "It's their best expression of being happy," he told PEOPLE.
