Ok....I can totally relate to you. Roxie is just a little over 2 now and her bark is a whisper bark. Sometimes it's like a loud squeak. But mostly it sounds horse. When I had first got her she was pretty sick with upper respitory (kennal cough or whatever you want to call it). I thought maybe it scarred her vocal chords. I even thought maybe she was debarked or something or trach. problems. My vet checked her out very extensively and said she'd never been debarked and although her trach was extremely tiny (smallest breathing tube used during spay) there was no found cause for the faint sounding bark. We've always worried that she wouldn't be able to warn us if she gets into trouble because we couldn't hear her. It's amazing how tuned in I am to her bark. I never let her out of my site anyway. I'll have to see if I can get this on video so you can all hear it. She's very healthy otherwise and had no problems with her spay and tooth removal. Allot of people think we're lucky because she can't bark. She never gets in trouble for excessive barking because it's just not loud enough to be annoying. Nice thing is she's not a yapper anyway and you could pretty much sneak her in anyplace because no one would ever hear her!
