Q: When did you last hear a barking dog in China?
I have not heard a single barking dog in Beijing since I arrived three years ago. Have you? What is behind this crazy phenomenon?
Don't know about Beijing but we have dogs here barking all the time. My neighbor has two dogs and they bark every time someone passes by them.
In Hubei province 2 and a half years ago.
What's behind this phenomenon? It's simple: Chinese eat dogs.
You don't hear the dogs because they have a Chinese bark and you don't understand it.
It might be that people are much less likely to have dogs in urban areas, compared to some other countries. Breed selection can do that too, preference for silent dogs.
I went to mountainous countryside of Sichuan and Yunnan, where Tibetan people are herding yaks. They use dogs, and those dogs bark. A lot. And they are aggressively territorial. For those people, such dogs make sense. Human selection at work ^^
Last bloody night about 11.30pm! Gardens I live in has a few dogs and one of them yaps loudly all the time. Someone should stir-fry it to shut the bloody thing up!
Factory across the road uses guard dogs....barking is a daily occurrence.
Barking dogs: Do people count? Like, a metaphore for loud and argumentative?
Hey now, it's a good question. Let's be nice. i live in Rizhao, and while there are many wild and domesticated canines all over the place in my district, I can confirm that I seldom witness any of them bark. They are also remarkably clever, since most of them are the pups of dogs smart enough to adhere to the appropriate sides of the street.
Although they do eat dogs here in town, I hear barking every morning.
my wife eaT DOG regularly, I do too, but I prefer not to be told what I am having for dinner...if it is at home..the dog restaurant, I am not a fan of, only because the meat varies so much..( tough and shitty to tender and delicious, you never know)
In my apartment building there is a woman, she has 3 dogs....and a husband and zero children ....... sad story ..... but I have seen the flipping muts defecating and her not tending to it appropriately.... that pisses me off...(3 kids is too many for herr/him)...she wants 3 dogs and walk them, she better look after them!! no they don't bark .. I do greet her regularly as I too spend most days at home....dog replacements for kids is sad
