Why pugs don’t barkPugs don’t bark mainly because of their personality. They are introverted, quiet and docile, and would not have liked to bark, which is one of the reasons why many people like to have pugs. However, it is also possible for a Pug to have a physical problem, such as congenital vocal cord underdevelopment, which causes the Pug to be unable to make a sound and thus not bark. Since it is congenital, there is usually no way to correct it. In addition, if a Pug would have barked, but suddenly won’t bark. It may be that the vocal cords have grown a polyp or lump, causing the vocal cords to be uncomfortable when the Pug is vocalizing, so it is reluctant to bark.
