They rarely bark all night long, but they will bark if something isn’t right. Mine can be very quiet some nights and noisy the other nights. The nice thing about winter is that windows are shut! In the summer, they are shut, too…….with the A/c running. Also, their bark is deep, which I’ll take over a yappy bark, any day.
Our little ScottyX, Angus………now THAT is a yappy bark! He watches the lane and if anyone drives down it, he announces it! My dh says that when I am out, away from the house, Angus sits, looking out the sliding glass door. He gets up and barks and wags when he hears me coming down the lane, BEFORE anyone can see me. He is such a funny dog, but his bark is very irritating to me!
How is Alex doing? Is he still plucking?

While I vote in favor of the LGD's and the farmers, always, I just pray to GOD I'll never have to live near someone who employes a LGD. From what I'm told, these dogs run their perimeter fence and literally bark all night long. It is horrible if you are not a dog-lover and need to get a decent nights sleep. We ARE dog lovers, but we have had neighbors who had dogs who just yapped all night and it really makes you crazy. I wish there was some easy resolve. Comparing these dogs to a tractor or another piece of farm equipment isn't fair since most farmers don't run their big tractors at 2 O'clock in the morning! I'm in
Many Blessings~
