That is great - getting the scoop right from the source.

But I had a Blue Swedish who was very loud and quacky. So, even if a breed generally is quiet, there can be individuals who "defy convention" and are noisy. Just saying.

My runners are pretty quiet.  I have them in town  - in the backyard with no complaints.
