I want to know,How long does pregnancy period of bitch have? And what are the primary symptoms in order to identify it?
doodle barked!

All three of mine would only bark when they hear an unusual noise, like an intruder outside or something falling over in another room. Very useful as you know something is up!

Sorry to disappoint you, but Doodle didn't actually bark ! What you heard was the Basenji equivalent - a single syllable open mouthed cough. Something they will all do if frustrated (you delayed her food LOL), backed into a corner, scared or surprised by something scary.
Normal dogs barking - watch them, it ends with the mouth closed. And is seldom just a single sound.
A Basenji when apparently giving tongue with what sounds like a bark - mouth ends up open.

Ha. Nice! Kevin sometimes makes a barking sound as well. And it's always very deliberate, like she's speaking a foreign language and wants to make sure the pronunciation is right. One very dramatic bark.
I love her 'wawauw' noises the most. She hasn't yodeled yet, but having listened to them online, I hope she never will.

Whatever it was... it was beautiful! And perfectly timed!
-
Of course !! She was telling you off !!!
-
@elbrant - My C-Me does the same.... depending on what she is "demanding" it turns into a yodel... LOL!
-
Most of my Basenjis have barked at one time or another, but typically when startled or frightened. When frustrated or amused or annoyed, then generally a yodel. When they bark it is one bark, possibly repeated (if a threat is perceived), but never barks strung together. Lady never barked when she saw something upsetting outside, but she would run around the house and "huff" audibly.
-
The point is, not that it barked, but that it gave the typical Basenji open mouthed single 'bark' when any other breed gives a closed mouth multiple sound -
-
Prince has never barked...he does give a long sound that sounds like our air conditioner is going out. He also talks very vocally...it is multiple, very gutteral, hoarse sounds he will make while looking directly at us. Have no idea what he wants but he is really telling us off. There are many pitches involved and we always laugh.

@zande Interesting. I've never watched when we've heard the 'alert' barks. I might have to leave a camera recording 24/7 to catch this (thankfully, very few alerts these days...). I've previously noted that it is single - and a lot easier on the ears than a 'real' bark.
