Thanks to Best Life for including my comments!
Personally, I don't believe people should choose or avoid breeds based on whether they bark a lot or not since any dog can become a chronic barker, and pet parents don't need to live with chronic barking if they understand how to curb the behavior.
If your dog has a barking problem, reach out - we can help you get it under control!
Even though proper training is the key to riasing any well-behaved pup, certain dog breeds bark the most, according to veterinarians.

Dog Training & Behavior Specialists
Dogs are special: they are social creatures that have been able to adapt to living in a human world. It’s remarkable if you stop to think about it! However, though we view them as our lovable pets, they are still descendants of wolves with built-in drives and needs that must be satisfied in order for them to be happy.
At Dog Savvy Los Angeles, we encourage you to understand your dog by examining their inherent canine drives and learning how to channel them into game-based dog training. Our motivational approach uses games of choice that get your dog engaged in problem-solving while teaching them good manners, providing them with the mental and physical stimulation they need in order to feel fulfilled. The best part is your dog naturally learns how to be polite and respond to your requests while you are both having fun!
