Well "Dustie" hardly barks either..At first I wondered if he ever would...Now he barks if there is a real reason to..i.e. a knock at the door or if really startled..but never for attention..never at night or when playing...He is now 10 months old...I must admit I do like quiet Yorkies...My others used to be so noisy...and barked at anythig and everything..so Dustie gets my vote lol..
