I have a 4 year old yellow lab, Bridget and an 8 month old yorkie/pom, Bella.

Bridget barks constantly and suffers from happy lab syndrom.

Bella seldom barks and when she does, it's very quiet. Occasionally if she gets freaked out by something (that 'other' dog in the mirror ) she howls.

Most dogs are what you teach them to be. It's our fault that Bridget barks a lot (we used to encourage her) and jumps on people (again, our fault) and thinks she's a lap dog (she's 70 pounds, again our fault )

Bella is a wonderful little dog. Again, she seldom barks and behaves herself very well. She rules the house, ours and our in laws when all the other dogs are there (3 golden retrievers, our lab and a shepard mix)
