Do the dogs bark constantly?
No. We actually chuckle at this question, because when it’s asked, the dogs are barking. I look at the barking as a communication tool for the dogs. Whenever a new dog comes into their view, they bark, as if they are greeting the newcomer. Sometimes the greeting takes a bit longer than we feel is necessary, but usually within 5 minutes they are settled back down and content. They bark when they feel excited about something, i.e. going outside or when there is anything out of the ordinary, like tours. But most of the time it is very very quiet in the kennel. The dogs all nap between noon and 4. During that time you could hear a pin drop. I love when I turn the lights on at 4, and they are blinking their eyes like little kids, as if to say “It’s time to get up already?” And then they bark. They know it’s time to go outside.
