hmm, i don't think one gender would bark more than another. Bailey never barks - unless its a sudden sound, the vacuum, or the doorbell rings. Otherwise, he'd pass as being mute. I don't think having a backyard/not having a backyard would matter much. We have backyard, but Bailey's only been out there once or twice. The key is to take them out on long walks, etc, to tire them out! We go to dog parks, take walks 2-3x a day, etc. Good luck!

yea dont give up! =) im sure ull ultimately find a good match. =)

Welcome Blue and family!
