I had a male Golden Retriever, 110lbs with no fat.
This guy barked, literally, maybe 3 or 4 times in his life.
He was the sweetest most loving dog I’ve ever owned.
When he did bark, it wasn’t some “RUFF RUFF RUFF” going on and on. The first time, it was a really slow and really deep RUUUUUUFFFFFF, that took time to build into a final RUUFF.
It was soo funny, because he actually scared himself.
He wasn’t a very smart dog, I admit.

Same with mine. He is only 75 pounds though. The only time he barks is when he hears an owl. I have birds all over the place, nothing. An owl and he goes nuts.
