[nagdu] Barking

My first dog was a horrible barker. It didn't matter what I did. I couldn't 
break her of this habit. As she got older, the barking got worse. It wasn't 
something she did in harness, just around the house.

Caroline is the total opposite. I currently share space with two small, 
yappy dogs, and she hasn't barked with or at them. I think I've heard her 
bark less than ten times in the 5.5 years I've had her. I asked GDF for a 
quiet dog, and I definitely got one.

Shannon and the very quiet Caroline
