MemberThey are beautiful. Small but very dignified in appearance. They are apparently bred to hunt Lions in Africa so they are not fearful. Depending on your situation however, they can be quite aloof, cat like and will usually only bond with one or two people in a family setting but their bonds to select individuals is very strong.
They are also extremely intelligent and said to be the oldest dog breed, with paintings and carvings of them going back to the Egyptians. Very interesting. They are also said to be very clean and meticulous in regards to their own appearance, licking and cleaning themselves like cats while shedding very little. If anyone does look into this breed, they are known to suffer from a genetic kidney disorder so make sure you purchase from a reputable breeder who can trace its lineages. I myself may look into this breed.
HAHAHAHAHA that made me laugh way to hard. Ive been actually binge watching pokemon last two weeks due to my anxiety. How I would love a pokemon, my house would be full of them.
Pokémon is a messed up concept because you are hunting animals and enslaving them to fight each other.
@Jazzer Om gosh hahahaha that is hilarious, hope your wife got her sewing machine back after the standoff! Also I looked into blue Persians apparently there hypoallergenic so maybe my allergies wont be as bad with one.
@Jcb awwww id love a husky maybe one day i shall get one of those down the line. Ive heard however you need two of them otherwise they can destroy the house?
@Vin That definitely looks like a regal dog, i might have to look into it more if it doesnt bark.

@coffee_girl how is your yorkie going. I remember you had smiliar concerns to me when reading one of your other threads. Are your ears still hurting when your yorkie barks or no?

Hey, yeah she is about 6 months now...they grow up really fast! She is barking more now than ever, whenever someone is at the door she goes absolutely nuts. If i am really close to her (within a feet) then yeah it bugs me...but if i am a room away or 6 feet away it doesn't bother me. She's a tiny dog so her bark is more shrill but not high in volume. I haven't had any issues since I've got her.
At least you know she is a good guard dog lol. I am glad its worked out well for you. What is her name?
I heard the same from the breeder who we got our huskie from but he's been absolutely fine, chewed a few things when he was a pup but he grew out of that. He's not the smartest doggo so I'm not sure if that plays a part
he will literally spend an hour chasing his own tail, bite it then yelp and do it all over again....

Her name is millie. I think once you get a dog you will find that they really distract you from your T. I haven't been on the forums or thought about my T much since the last month because she really takes up all my thought process.
But once you get a puppy you will be so attached that the barking goes in the back burner! I can't speak for others but for me I know that even if my T gets louder I'll just have to live with it.
@Jcb om gosh thats kind of cute not going to lie. Poor thing bless him.
@coffee_girl That is exactly why my parents think it would be a good idea. Help with my anxiety and stop me monitoring my tinnitus all day. It will give me something to do rather then sitting around checking on it every now and then.

They're so precious! My dream is to have British short hair one day
when I can manage better and I'm more settled. Thanks for sharing 
I've felt from experience a lot of bigger dogs have a lesser tendency to bark, and can have a louder - sure, but gentler bark? A lot of small dogs seem to bark a lot, and also have more high pitched barks.
Although I've never encountered a French Bulldog barking, perhaps they have lesser tendency?
My brother and his girlfriend has a Shetland Sheepdog, and she's a small dog, but her bark feels loud and high pitched - it's truly piercing like knifes in my ears :c
I've been thinking a long time of wanting a Irish Wolfhound.Big dog with loud bark I would suppose, but very calm temperament and low tendency to bark. But would like to meet one and hear it in person before thinking further about it.
The Basenji breed is quite known for not barking at all I think.
