I am leaning toward the Boston mix because of temperament traits and it being a bit bigger that the other two terriers
And the face on him!
Huskies are not generally big barkers unless they learn it from other dogs.

Because books.
I have no experience with Bostons, but I've heard great things about them.
My neighbor across the street has a Bouvier de Flanders, and it is the sweetest dog ever. He is a barker sometimes, but otherwise so mellow and friendly and HUGE. She got his hair trimmed for the summer, which I've never seen done before on that breed, and he's a little self-conscious about it. Very cute.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Heh. The ones I always see are in the shelter, where the dogs generally do nothing but bark.

That's the one I would pick for you msbelle. Not that a photo is enough, but that little guy's aspect is the best of the one's featured on that page.
I've known some Huskies I have loved. However, the idea of living with all that hair makes me tired. Also, a quiet dog in the shelter is by no means destined to be a quiet dog in the house.
Bostons have great energy, fewer health issues and tend to live longer. They are less emotionally needy than Huskies, that's for sure!
In other words...PUP! Good luck on finding a great companion.

Speaking of, Darby actually barked at me yesterday! I was shocked. In the year and change I've had her I've heard her bark literally a half a dozen times. And I mean a half dozen individual barks. (At other dogs she was trying to get to play with her.)

I just went to a cooking class. Well, I didn't cook, it was more of a cooking demo...of cheese! The chef made a two cheeses...a fresh cheese and a ricotta with honey. Then we sampled 14 other cheeses. I am about to fall into a cheese coma.

It took a week for Noodle to start making noise here. Instead of a meow, it is more of a mrrrrrrrrr.

It was close to a hundred here today. But we've been in the hospital for the better part of today and Grace's room is freezing. Like 62ish. I had to buy a hoodie to wear in the room.
In other news, AM TIRED NOW. After shift change, I'm going to bed.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Go, Darb!
It took Kittenish a long to make even a peep of noise. The first time she mrrrw'd, my ex and I were shocked. To the point we were trying to figure out what the noise was because my cat was a silent thing.
Sums her up. ME!
You named her after a goddess, can't be shocked she's a little self-centered.
