Q: Why wont my white boxer bark its been a week since I've had her and she is 8 months and i have not yet heard her bark why wont she bark?


Answer:

Does she respond when you call her? If not, she may be deaf. White boxers dogs are especially prone to this. As many as 20% of them are born deaf. If you can't get her to respond, take her to the vet to find out for sure.

It could also be that your dog just isn't much of a barker. In general boxer dogs usually aren't all that vocal. There are exceptions to that of course, but I've heard lots of stories of quiet boxers.
