What age does German Shepherd puppies start barking?

We received our puppy on Saturday, she is 15 weeks and we have never heard her bark. We have heard her whine and a low grow but we have never heard her bark. I have looked it up on the internet and I cant find anything to answer my question.

1. Barking is relative. i had my dog for almost a year before i heard him bark. Some dogs are just more prone to barking than others.
2. Most puppies don't bark a lot at this age, they may do little woofs at other dogs or when they want to play. Our dog did not start to bark properly till almost 2 years of age, which she reached sexually maturity. All dogs are different.
