Can Basenjis bark?

Abbey will let out one sharp little bark if she's really ticked off about something. She has to be really mad to do it.

AJs Human, that was amazing, but no. Where that dog barks in a continuous amount of time, Pepper just lets out one bark, followed by a break, followed by another bark.

I have never heard a basenji do continuous bark… just the single. That video AJ, wow, wonder if purebred. Had never heard a basenji do that.

Cody will bark every once in a while, and he does the same thing: bark, pause, bark. He started mimicking our other dog, but it sounds so funny, like a human imitating a dog bark or something like that.

AJsHuman - That is what I call a normal dog bark! Possibly something in the background of the breeding?
Incidentally my Kangal learnt to yodel (baroo)from my Basenjis!

LOL haven't been on in a couple of weeks and just today taped Cara. She was doing a lot more but here are a couple of BOOFS.

Zoey is almost 2 and has let out a bark 3 times and only when startled.
Chief is a talker and usually barks several times a week. Most times when he is trying to get zoe to play. Often when my husband has told him not to do something he will stop but then give a single bark. It's as the others have said a single bark then pause and occationally followed by a second though not often.
Yet when something outside catches their attention such as other dogs or critters they are totally silent running from windows to door or along our fence line with the dog next door who IS barking her head off mine never let out a peep other then whines. -

Paco picked up barking while playing with the chihuahua mix that lives upstairs - it's not as continuous as on the video AJs Human put up, it's more like what you say Pepper did: bark, pause, bark. Then he starts barooing if he's really annoyed, heh.

The person said basenji, but then suggesting inbreeding might cause the barking. Um… inbreeding would more likely PREVENT the behavior by setting the genes than causing it. Am unsure, AJ, is that you? If so, lol I'd need a DNA test to believe that dog doesn't have non-basenji somewhere.

Is he in the B Pedigree Database? I am curious about his pedigree.
