That reminded me of Monty, when he was our only dog. We were looking at cars at a huge out of town 'supermarket' when a plane passed over us, quite low and our quiet lad decided that he's get it.
We got Monty at 20 weeks and thought he would never bark. However, when he was about 8 months, I was driving through a village and slowed right down for a chicane in the road. all of a sudden, this bark nearly made me jump out of my skin--A pedal cyclist had drwn level with the car and Monty was having none of it.
He's not so quiet anymore, though he's rarely the one to start a group bark. Sometimes, early in a morning, he'll sit on the landing and bark. Whether he's seen something through the glass in the front door or wants 'out' we don't know, as he expects 'out' anyway , if someone gets up.
Izzy was shy (we never knew why, as he was outgoing as a puppy and was never frightened by anyone), but always barked when a visitor stood up to leave. The only exceptions were my son's, but not Andrew's wife. Teddy has now taken to doing the same and Joly joins in, just incase he misses some attention.
We get mass barks if I appear to be getting ready to go out (they don't bother if David is going out; just me) and when I forget the fishskins or go to collect dinner bowls for filling. Once the food appears, though, everone sits and waits nicely.
