French Bulldogs are the defacto favorite, associated with high, aristocratic, LA culture they can be a bit expensive, that is because they’re a bit of a status symbol, many celebrities have carried them in their bags all day long with them, and being that they’re so quiet and peaceful, it’s not much of a problem. They’re rather smart dogs and understand the difference between play and danger more acutely than normal breeds. French Bulldogs start around $1k and can go upwards of 10-100k depending on the coat attributes, ETC. I’ve seen half a million dollar french bulldogs, such as 2 Chainz’ French Bulldog, Yappy.

Australian Shepard’s name is a bit misleading, and maybe that’s why they’re a bit underrepresented in the urban dog community, but this awesome, friendly dog is not only loyal and smart, bred in the US to do field/farm work, much like a collie, it’s quiet when told to be so unless it’s alerting it’s owners to imminent danger. They’re quite the breed with a lot of energy and personality, with a mild temperament.

A fairly popular quiet, and hairless dog breed would be the ever-popular Japanese Shih Tzu. Although they’ve certainly seen a decline in popularity due to the spike of Jack Russel Terrier/Poodle mixes that look very similar to Shih Tzus, the Asiatic personality and obedient nature of their genus are forever, they’ve been with humans for over a thousand years, so they know when to be quiet. Very good companion dogs. This is because they know how to live with people over thousands of years, traditionally Japanese royalty, but they’re fine with being at your house too

Another very popular quiet dog breed in the modern age would be the Shiba Inu, quite stoic little creatures, they’re known for the meme of their face, they look a lot like a big teddy bear, so many people put “memes” to show astonishment as the dogs always look slightly amazed. They’re very “cool” and one the best quiet dogs, although if you make them angry they can shriek and some people find it to be rather creepy, it’s just their nature. They’re a Japanese breed like Shih Tzus, at an average of 23 pounds for a male dog, 17 pounds for a female Shiba Inu. They can live up to 16 years. Some of their best characteristics are their personality, they certainly have had an evolution with humans, so they know how to act around humans, hence their quietness.

An Irish Setter is a hunting dog, but they’re extremely obedient. They’re also considered one of best quiet dogs you can own. They don’t bark unless they need to, they’re fairly powerful dogs, weighing in at 70 pounds for a male, but they’re fairly docile dogs unless their owners command otherwise or their owners are threatened. They’re considered very austere and regal breeds, they have very human-like long hair that’s quite elegant, and can be groomed to extreme degrees. They’re extremely agreeable with people.

The Basenji can be considered the most “extreme” quiet dog, as they almost never make a noise, besides when they make their characteristic yodel. They’re quite chill in temperament and love people and can make odd little yelp/yodel noises to make themselves known when necessary, but their temperament is quite mild, making for a perfect companion like a cat in a sense. They’re quite adorable aswell with their perky ears. They’re a very mid-sized breed, around 23 pounds for both sexes of the dog, and only 16 inches tall on average. They’re considered a bit rare, so if you want one it might be expensive or a bit of an excursion.
