Another perk of having a low-maintenance dog like this one is that they don’t bark nearly as much as other breeds. Irish Doodles aren’t known to be very vocal, so you luckily won’t have to worry about them barking at random things throughout the day. Even though they might not be overly protective of the home, Irish Doodles (like all dogs) will likely bark at anything that causes concern or frightens them. But that is perfectly normal.
