the rare African "schmaugal" hound is the only reported dog that cannot physically bark due to a degenerative defect in their DNA which causes ALL of them to be born with no vocal cords at all.

i hope this helps
The African Basenji is the best known "barkless" dog. The Basenji is one of the oldest domesticated breeds of dogs. Another dog that does not bark much is the beagle. Beagles can bark but they prefer to "bay," (make a long, drawn out deep toned sound.

All dogs have the capability to bark. But they may refrain from doing so based on personality and mood temperate. A dog that is trained not to bark is still capable of barking.

This is not that all dogs cannot be trained not to bark. During WW2 the US trained many war dogs who'd later fight in the Pacific against the Japanese (ie.the Doberman Alsatian). They didn't want to give away their position because of barking dogs so they taught them not to bark by tapping them on the snout or poking their neck and sharply saying,"NO!"
All dogs can bark but some owners have their vocal cords snipped to lessen their bark.

The Besenji is often called a 'barkless' dog. However, it is not a totally silent dog. It does make a sound that is 'Yodel-like'. It can also growl, and howl...but no bark.
The Basenji breed of dog does not bark. They are the only dog breed that doesn't bark. Australian wild dogs, or Dingos, do not bark. Instead they howl to communicate.
