Frasier definitely has his own personality. He isn't a "barker" by nature. A single little "woof" to come inside... and just one... unless you take too long, and then it is a little louder with a tone like, "Um, excuse me, I'm waiting." And don't miss the second bark because if you do, he is no longer interested in coming inside - he has found something else to do. He "talks" to me when I come home... the roo rooo roo stuff... He is very laid back... if he were human, I think he'd be a "surfer" with his own agenda and if a big wave is coming, he's there.
