One of us Scotties has a big voice and she’s not afraid to use it! Yes, my sister, Sadie can outdo Molly and me any day with her loud barking and howling.
There are two neighbor dogs behind us that really like to bark and if Wen happens to let us outside when either or both of those dogs are out and they start barking at us, Sadie will happily reply. She will not only bark back at them, but sometimes she will howl too until both Wen and the neighbors make us all come inside. Other neighbors probably don’t appreciate hearing a dog choir doing a rousing rendition of whatever.
Sadie is always ready and eager to use her voice and she will stand on the deck and listen for other neighborhood dogs to start a conversation. I guess since she is small in stature, she likes to make up for it with her big voice, but as soon as Sadie starts barking or howling, Wen is just as ready and eager to put and end to any unnecessary noise!
