Why would anyone take a dog to the vet because it doesn't bark????? I can see mentioning it to the vet if you need to go in for some other reason - shots or something. (My vet is not going to get paid for a visit because my dog doesn't bark.) This is a good question for YT --not for a trip to the vet.
I have a Bichon that didn't bark until he heard another dog bark (when he was almost six months old.) And, he hasn't ever barked much since then. Also, I've had him for four years and have heard him growl only once. He's just a laid back, quiet, but very playful dog.
My Yorkie can bark - and does occasionally - but not often. He will go several days without barking at all - and then for some reason bark five or six times at a house plant. Hope he stays this way!!
