Nothings wrong. Some pets just don't bark really. It doesn't mean he is sick or that there is anything medically wrong with him. He is just a really calm dog that doesn't feel the need to bark. And likely as he gets older he will bark every now and again, but it seems this just isn't in his nature and he is content with life.
