I have no trouble recognize Koko's bark because she barks so rarely. She has a franic bark if there are other animals around like Dear or Racoon but only at night. She rarely barks at people since most people that come to our house , are old friends and all they get is wags. UPS, Fedex, Post-ladie can come and go and Koko never says a word. If a strange car pulls in the drive way she will give out a few non alarmist barks but if they approach her she turns into wags. We have a very large front porch so that is where she stays most of the time.

Once in a while there will be a sound in the Television that will set her off but for the most part if we hear her bark we go to see what is wrong. When she needs to go out she will usually pace in front of us and gives out a single bark when she gets to the front door. She talks to us more than she barks. She will jabber out a long string of talk just like she knows what she is saying. If we ask her what she said, she will repeat the same jabber. She will always talk after returning from her nightly business. She has a very precise jabber when asking for a treat.
