Great Pyrenees Forum:
BARKING

I HAVE BEEN READING UP ON DIFFERENT DOG BREEDS FOR OVER A YEAR NOW TRYING TO DECIDE WHAT BREED IS BEST FOR OUR FAMILY. I TEND TO LEAN TOWARDS THE LARGER DOGS AND THE GREAT PYRENEES IS ONE OF MY VERY FAVORITES. I LIKE THAT THEY ARE GOOD PROTECTORS AND LOVE TO BE INSIDE WITH THE FAMILY. BUT I ONLY HAVE ONE CONSERN ABOUT THE BREED AND THAT IS THE BARKING. I HAVE TALKED TO SOME BREEDERS AND READ THAT THEY CAN BARK AT EVERYTHING. MY NEIGHBORS MAY NOT LIKE IT IF THEY KEEP BARKING AT THEM EVEN AFTER THEY SHOULD KNOW WHO THEY ARE. SO MY QUESTION IS DO THEY KEEP BARKING AT THE SAME PEOPLE OR JUST TILL THEY GET USE TO THEM? I DO PLAN ON KEEPING THE DOG IN WITH US BUT OF COURSE THEY WILL NEED AND WANT OUT SOMETIMES AND DO NOT WANT TO BOTHER MY NEIGHBORS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP! MARY
