Barking was a big concern

We've had five dogs since we moved to Rural Hall (one is still alive), and barking has often been the big problem for them.
BUDDY THE BARKER
Actually, Buddy was the only big barker in the family. Katie only barked when she'd be outside and Buddy would bark. Then Katie would start barking, and I'd have to tell her to shut up. Otherwise, she was quiet.

 Scottie (like Katie, a collie) was not a barker at all, even when he was outside.

 Lady sometimes barked when she heard someone or something outside, but she wasn't much of a barker, either. There IS a story about Lady barking a bit at the dog park. In fact, there's another Lady barking story.

 Dixie, our current dog, isn't a barker. My wife Holly had feared getting a beagle, thinking that all beagles are barkers. Dixie was quiet at the Forsyth Humane Society, and I figured she'd be quiet here, too. So far, she's only barked with other dogs (or cats) around, and even that is extremely rare.

 Actually, it's been quiet with Dixie around.
