My Penny does the little growl indoors when she wants to play or eat, but when someone is at the door, she barks a little bark... BUT when the mailman comes oh man she howls.. and I mean howls, I think the mailman thought I had a huge dog until I saw Penny waiting for him at the front door, and he commented to her, hi there little cutie...
So yes they can be little barkers, big barkers, and no barkers !!!!
They each have there own personalities
