Bichon Frise training and traits?

I have a 3 month old Bichon Frise. He is a very affectionate dog but what worries me is he's very quiet? I've had him for about a week and I haven't heard him bark not once. He also doesn't like to walk and prefers to sleep half the day. Is this because he's just a puppy or maybe he has to get use to us? I am a first time dog owner so my question may sound silly.
