Basenji Burps ?

[Kipawa]

@Andrew:

It is extremely loud & unladylike, and she often does it right in my face. Several times a day.

Andrew, oh how this made me laugh! :D

Kipawa burps sometimes after a meal, and I swear when he needs to he holds onto it until he is beside Darrel or myself. So, Lysh, sounds like everything is copasetic at your end!

@agilebasenji:

Yes, that's exactly what it means at my house. Usually right before they wipe their muzzles on the sofa or bedspread.

So funny….Every night after dinner Sonny's does the same thing..walks in the living room, lets out a burb you'd expect from a 300 pound man and rolls around on the carpet wiping his face all over :p

Isn't it amazing that Basenjis all over seem so alike? Gbala always jumps up beside me after a meal, looks deep into my eyes .. and burps! The others do burp but not always just for me!!

[Kipawa]

Yes, with this thread I think we have all discovered a basenji trait that is never spoken of or published. Kind of like being a part of a special group, like the Freemasons. It's all hush hush…. shhhhh... just enjoy the burps but be very discreet in who you tell about it. :)

Blaze burps, too, after a meal, although he doesn't do it to us. He also often gets the hiccups after he eats, probably because he inhales his food!

@smithadam576:

It is difficult to get them through their first 2 years, and many people give them up before they become an adult.

I suppose they don't appreciate the fun that is encountered the first two years.

I'm always looking forward to what my B will do next. :D

[Shaye's Mom]

Shaye burps after she has eaten if she eats more than her usual nibbling, and has no reaction as though it's just part of the meal. Gemma (the mix) only burps occasionally, and hangs her head immediately as if she is thinking "oh my, that wasn't very ladylike."

[Walter]

Well this is all so reassuring…I thought my B's burping was unusual but I guess it's quite common!:D

[Anubis's Mommy]

I think its cute…Anubis will chow down his breakfast or dinner or even a snack and then come over to me, Burp and then go spazz out with his toys. You can hear his burps too...they are pretty loud. Anubis eats Beneful dog food and gets raw meat/bones a few times a week as well. He particularly loves it if im outside grilling....he usually gets thrown a raw rib or two when hes outside with me. Or a chicken drumstick if Im cooking chicken. He loves it!
