Do Akbash dogs bark a lot?

Yes, some Akbash dogs may bark a lot, and their vocalizations are typically focused on warning of intruders or perceived threats, which is a key aspect of their role as livestock guardians.

If you plan on adopting an Akbash dog as a companion, prioritizing socialization is crucial. Introduce them to a range of positive experiences with other pets, people, and in new environments to help them feel more relaxed in a range of settings, and less likely to alarm bark in everyday life.
