Thank your lucky stars and fingers cross that he doesn't start. I had a JR, she never barked. Only when someone should't be where they are.
Even when we acquired our Lassie, neither of the barked.
Neighboures never heard them.

I had my old rescue dog for 11 years and he rarely barked, he was happy, very waggy tail and a real character,
I miss him even though he has been gone nearly 3 years,
I wouldn't worry, like has been said he is still finding his feet
P.s. love the name Wilbur btw
------------- Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
I have had my rescue dog for four years and she rarely barks. She will bark if we are out on a walk and I am not paying too much attention to what is around me, and she see someone coming, a great plus. She only barks at home if she thinks someone is at the back of the house, not in our or our neighbours property.
