Barron definitely barked... It wasn't real deep like my German Shepard "Bruce"... Barron was rarely relaxed, always on high alert... Like I said, he needed a job, direction, something to do...

Never had a Belgian that barked. Probably because I discourage it. As my last one was dying of cancer, I let him run wild. He was pushing me towards the door and all those things herding dogs do. He also started barking. I didn't yell at him for barking or anything else and he was developing bad habits.
I've trained mine to also be aware of and moderate their energy level. Rev them up, then calm them down. They can learn what "settle down" means. A very handy thing at the dog park.
I don't know what "jobs" people give them. Few have sheep to tend. I swear an hour at the dog park only gave him more energy. He liked to play keep away, so playing fetch from the lazy boy, I would try to slap the ball out of his mouth. For some reason, he really liked that play. That, and thrust and parry. Playing like my hand was another dogs mouth, I would grab, he would bite. It was a way to teach gentle mouthing.
