Hey guys,
Recently, I have been thinking about adopting a Doberman as a pet dog. However, I have heard different opinions on their bark. Some say that Doberman dogs bark a lot, while others say they are quiet than most dog breeds.
As someone who lives in an apartment, I am looking for a dog that is not too loud and won't disturb my neighbors. So, I need some insights from Doberman owners or anyone who has experience with this breed. Do Doberman dogs bark a lot, or are they relatively quiet as a dog breed?
I appreciate any personal experiences or advice you have to offer. Thanks in advance!

Hey all,
I have owned a few different dog breeds throughout my life, and I can say that my experience with my Doberman was quite unique. He didn't bark much at all, which I found surprising given their reputation for being guard dogs.
When we first got him, I expected him to bark at every little noise and be reactive to everyone that walked by, but that wasn't the case at all. He was calm, chill, and barely ever barked unless he needed to alert us to something like someone at the door.
From my personal experience, I wouldn't say that Dobermans are an excessively vocal breed. Of course, there can always be exceptions, but my interaction with my dog suggests that they do not bark as much as people might think. Like most dogs, their behavior usually depends on training, personality, and their upbringing.
Overall, If your concern is about barking, I would say Doberman dogs make a great pet option. They are intelligent, trainable, and adaptable to various environments, and they do not bark excessively unless trained otherwise.
