Beautiful, but naughty: The Samoyed topped the chart as the “naughtiest” dog in Furbo’s rankings.

A new list ranks the “naughtiest” and “nicest” dog breeds based on how much they bark, People magazine reports.

The roster comes from Furbo, which makes an interactive pet camera with treat dispenser.

Furbo “is able to get an idea of these numbers thanks to its product, which can alert owners via a phone notification that their dog is barking,” according to People.

The Samoyed ranks as the naughtiest dog, barking more than 52 times a day on average, according to Furbo.

The nicest, or at least quietest, dogs are Bernese Mountain Dogs. They bark about three times per day, Furbo has found.

Take a look at the full list here.

At first it was just an idea: Animal supplements needed the same quality control that human-grade supplements receive. But that was enough to start a movement and an organization —the National Animal Supplement Council — that would be dedicated to establishing a comprehensive path forward for the animal supplements industry. In this Media Spotlight interview, NASC’s president, Bill Bookout, talks to PETS+ interviewer Chloe DiVita about the industry today: Where it’s headed, what’s the latest focus and why it’s vital to gain the involvement of independent pet product retailers.
