Hi everyone,
I recently got a 45-day-old Doberman female puppy and I have noticed that she doesn't bark or make any sounds. I am a bit concerned about this as I have seen other puppies of her age make a lot of noise.
I am new to owning a dog and do not have much experience with Dobermans. Is it normal for a Doberman puppy to be quiet or is there something wrong with my puppy?
I have been feeding her well and taking care of her properly. She is active and playful but just doesn't seem to make any sounds. Any advice or information on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
I have also experienced puppies who aren't so vocal. My first Doberman didn't bark much when he was a puppy, but he started barking a lot as he grew older. It's possible that your puppy is just naturally quiet or hasn't found her voice yet.
That being said, it's always good to take your puppy to the vet for a check-up just to be sure. The vet can listen to your puppy's breathing and check her vocal cords to make sure everything is okay.
In the meantime, keep socializing your puppy with other dogs and people. Dogs often learn to bark from other dogs, so spending time with other puppies or adult dogs might encourage her to start barking. Just remember to be patient and give her time to learn.
Hope this helps!
