The AKC says they only bark as necessary. Apparently Shorty thinks it's always necessary.

That seems about right, I guess. Dorie (and Sissy) really only barks when there is someone at the door and rarely during play. They can be energetic when they are allowed to run and play, but they easily settle down. Some days it seems Dorie can sleep all day.Energetic too!!!
