I really like my 5 neighbors in my cool-de-sac and have nothing to complain about them yet.

BUT right behind my house, 3 houses down from me, this new you couple just moved in with 2 kids and 2 dogs. Well this loud and obnoxious dog, when outside, barks like there is no tomorrow. Most of the time is outside and I can hear it from inside my house. I can even hear the doug when I am in my backyard and the dog is inside their house. Is really loud and obnoxious.

What would you guys do?

Not exactly sure what you mean, but that wasn't the intent. I don't think color have anything to do with this post mate? Actually they're colored enough if white is also considered an acceptable color for you?

That's life in the burbs..it's all 'about the kids,' not about the peace and quiet, nor Quality of Life, for the working adults. Rampant ME-ism goes on there. You're special you know. Screw everyone else.

Yes I have an HOA but I am positive that they will come very hard on them...
I am sure I could approach the family but not sure how they will react.... Actually that is one of the reasons I didn't get a dog, knowing that it barks and poops everywhere. If I was in 1+ acre property that will be a different story but I am not...

The first thing I would do is leave the dog owners a note alerting them that their dog is bothering the neighbors with loud and constant barking.

If the problem continues, I would give the HOA a chance to intervene. What makes you think they won't respond?

well I know ethanw is in the HOA board so I guess he can just use your powers to sort th ings out. but yeah, it's just dumb bad luck that anyone can end up with a 'bad neighbor' even in the 'best subdivisions'. I know someone who just bought into the default choice Cinco Ranch. He was so proud only to realize that his childless neighbors are big italian/greek-ish family that gathers up the clan every weekend in the backyard with the inflatable castle, 10 kids bouncing and screaming until 1am, and the adults are big wine people - you know the type that goes hiphiphoray each time a bottle is opened, women with deep voices, and loud laughing types. he couldnt file any complaint because he was the newest so its too obvious LOL
