How many different barks does your doodle have?

[Donna Vee]

This is so hilarious. Both of my girls (but especially Ginger) have a whole array of barks and sounds for every occasion. Ginger has her :

 

 "Back away from my property...and nobody gets hurt" bark

 

 "Come on, play, come on, come on, come on" bark

 "Get over here...I missed you"   Wookie growl.

 

 And the moose call which she makes when she's wrestling Penny for the tug rope (it's a growl that goes up at the end).

and most recently, her girly bark. We saw a very handsome lab at the park the other day and as they were leaving she got this super high pitched bark that I've NEVER heard before. Her tail was going ninety miles an hour while she kept jumping into playful puppy pose……sooooo funny. She reeeeeally liked him. Can't say that I blame her. He was sleek, jet black and very boyish and strong looking. His "mom" and I were cracking up at their behavior. After the usual meet and greet, he just fell down and rolled over for her. Super sweet. Anyway, the little squeaky high pitched bark just cracked me up coming from such a big girl.

Yep, I can relate to the Girly Bark.  We only hear it on the beach when Shelbs chases birds til she just cant run anymore!!

Just a couple of nights ago, I got down on the carpet and began to growl at her.  It took a couple of minutes and then I found it.  Just the right pitch to get her to growl back.  But then I used it to train her, not to bark, but to speak!  WOW! 

I love to listen to see who is barking in the neighborhood,  and what its for....

Our boy Gus is the one with the different barks/sounds. Similar to what you listed. Lily on the other hand has just one. LOUD.

[Sally, Ditzy Mitzi & Sgt. Pepper]

Mitzi has three barks, loud, louder, and Loudest!

[Dori & Rua]

I think the "girly bark" sounds cute!  Rua has 5 main "sounds"...her bird chirp when she wants to get up from her nap, a little quiet whine when she we haven't gotten her up in the morning yet and she has to go potty (mostly she waits until we are up), snorts and snuffles when she is snuggling with us in the morning, her little "growl", and then her high-pitched bark...this is mostly caused when our neighbor goes in and out of his garage or takes his garbage cans out.  She hasn't quite learned her boundries yet!  Working on that!

[Donna Vee]

Penny is vocal too.  She whines a lot which drives me crazy but she also woo woo woos.  It's not quite a bark but more like talking.  She even adds REALLY big sighs when she yawns.  She's so dramatic and more vocal than Ginger but Ginger's sounds are very specific.  Cracks me up! I just love them.

[Donna Vee]

Ginger saves those for special times, like when I'm within inches of her face.  NICE!

[Camilla and Darwin]

I have heard only 2 different types of barks from Darwin, but rarely hear them. One of them is a single bark he gives when he is SUPER pumped up. For example, if we are playing with him, wrestling hard, and speaking to him in a really high voice. He only gets this excited 1 time every few months so DH and I consider it an honor if we hear it. LOL. It's sort of a mark of a really good play session to hear the bark. 

 

The second is when he is outrageously startled. Like, if a bunch of pots fell on the tile right behind him. It's a single, sharp woof. We rarely hear this one as well, which I suppose is a good thing.

Camilla, Darwin is the perfect dog.  YOU have the perfect doodle!

[Camilla and Darwin]

LOL! He's a good boy, that is for sure. :-)

[Bonnie and Kona]

Yes, I agree, wholeheartedly.

[Jennifer and Jack]

Jack has his bark for when people and or objects are far away but close enough that he needs to let them know that he is the man around these parts.

 

His second bark is a hysterical bark when he tries to get you to play, It is short fast barks always given in the play stance.

His third bark is when someone is actually at the door or coming onto the property, It is a much louder, faster bark. I can tell what is going on where by Jack's bark, That is the one thing that is very consistent.

TOO MANY AND I HATE EVERY ONE OF THEM AND SO DO MY NEIGHBORS. LOL
