What are the most important factors to you when you’re deciding on your next dog? Do you look for a certain size? Is shedding a concern? For many pet owners, selecting a dog breed that doesn’t tend to make a lot of noise is of the utmost importance — and that makes sense to us. After all, if you live in an apartment with thin walls or plan to travel with your pup (or, heck, just don’t want a pooch yapping at you all day long!), choosing a dog breed that doesn’t tend to bark much is certainly an understandable choice.
But which dog breeds are most likely to fit the bill? We asked veterinary professionals for their top hush puppy picks a while ago, and our readers were quick to speak up in the comments with their own opinions. So we recently asked 793 of our readers to vote on the quietest dog breeds. We’ve noted their answers below and have compared them to what the veterinary pros had to say to see how they line up.
Think another breed should’ve made the list? Let’s hear it in the comments!
