Do Hovawarts bark a lot?

Yes, Hovawarts bark — you’d expect as much from a dog bred to keep the homestead safe! These protective pups use their voice to communicate and safeguard their family and property from perceived dangers. They are not an excessively noisy breed, though; their barking is purposeful and aimed at defending their territory or loved ones. As with any dog, they can be discouraged from barking as frequently with proper training and exercise.
