Collie Bark *Video*

[Spiritwind]

I also thougth the toy dog bark......

that one seem more of an excited/playful bark

the deep one is a more serious one... like hey, I´m the king here and this is MY terrotory.... tresspassers stay off!!

Great videos Robin!!..

Oh.. yes.. they bark, which is why SOOO many Collies end up debarked. I know a lot of people who do it, though none of mine are, I have bought dogs from other people who were debarked.

Oh yes.. the high pitched bark they do, annoys me SOO much at times LOL its their playful excitable sound. The lower deeper bark is their "watch dog" bark LOL Collies are very protective of their property (atleast mine have always been) and their people.... not aggressive at all, but good watch dogs. My first Collie used to scare the crap out of the mail man with that deep bark LOL

The older they get the deeper it seems to get... my young males don't have quite as deep of a bark as Zack does... the females tend to not get real deep barks.. but when excited they sure can get high pitched and it will just cut right thru you some days LOL Amy and her sister (zack granddaughters) have the highest pitched bark I've ever heard come out of a Collies mouth when they get excited.. ie.. feeding time LOL

Thanks for the comments everyone.

I just wanted to let you know that I haven't really captured his serious deep bark yet. It is really something and at first I thought it sounded quite a bit like Bon, the mastiff. I was shocked that he had a bark like that.

Yes, my neighbor has one dog that can really bark. My neighbor does rescue work and she has a ton of dogs. Too many for where we live. Just ask Anna and Kay. I'm not for sure if Amy got to see them when she was here. They bark all the time! Thank God they are only in and out a few times a day right now. Summers can be bad because they are out more. I figure my dog barking once in awhile is not going to disturb the neighbors too much more. Besides I'm pretty good about bring Zack in if he gets too barky. He is sooooo good. Sometimes I can't see him if he is in two certain corners of the yard and all I have to do is "Zack, come" and he is right there at my feet. Wish Katie would learn that...lol. She will come but just stand there and stare at me in the pouring rain. Which she did today...lol

Aww, just look at that tail of his! Is it always wagging?

I love his bark. To me its not annoying in the least bit.. I guess I'm way too fond of vocal dogs! Zack reminds me alot of Skylar(husky/GSD) when it comes to their barking and the way they carry themselves. :]
