William is just the opposite - the only time he shuts up is when he is asleep!  :005:

Really enjoy the peace.  Willow is 8 months now and she didn't start to bark until I started showing her.  Now as soon as I pick up my bag or car keys, that's it...she barks and barks and tries to second guess which car door I'm going to open first.  I have it all the way to the show right up until I put her onto the grooming table.  Talk about excited.  She now asks for her dinner by barking, asks to go out by little barks and to come in by big barks.

Gosh.. when I think back to when it was quiet.

Sam had to be taught how to bark as he rarely made a sound. We wanted him to bark at the doorbell so people knew there was a dog at home. Anyone watching us teaching him to bark would think we were nuts. Plenty of treats to Gee him up and he had to work out how to get those treats. Took ages but he finally got the idea and think he was over a year before he barked properly. Rose on the other hand we couldn't shut up. My sister in law has a lab who is now 8. Probably barked twice at the doorbell in all that time. It just never occurs to him to make a sound.
