Does your Basenji go umph?
-
..but wait I haven't heard this one before and it happens on the regular…how about the burping?My B burps everytime he drinks lots of water.
Our B- burps too. My husband callshim teh gas bomb. Rocky normally waits to burp after devouring a rawhide or licking the empty sour cream container clean. He'll just burp and lick his chops as if to say "man that was fantastic!" and then go take a nap.
What I would give for my dogs life!

One of ours, the male will definitely give out an umph when he does not get his way. Usually accompanied by some sort of crazy foot shaking dance. It is so funny to see the similarities with other basenjis. Since we have never been around any others but our own, we just did not know.
-
Yeah we've had CHamp for almost 2 months and we're getting all these new noises from him and more often. The grunt is my favorite cause he does this when he's desperate oh and of course the burp.
-
Does anyone else's B- "yip"? Rocky will utter one lone "arup!" when he's begging and thinks we've forgotten he's there.
-
Yeah our B does this. Usually in the morning when he wants to lay in bed with us. We wait until he begs alittle just to hear him.
-
Thank goodness! One of my friends (who's mother owned a B when she was littler) questioned how purebred my boy was because he "barked" in her presence. I told her one yip does not make a bark but she's not listening to me.
-
my boyfriend is the same way, he thinks she barks, she doesn't bark, she makes a quick short yip-ish sound and thats that, no more till some other thing catches her attention she mostly does it at the cat, that's it

yeah people ask me so, he's the barkless dog, and I answer yeap but he makes other noises and I find myself trying to immitate the noises..yeah pretty funny.
-
I tell people that they don't bark, and mine doesn't yodel. She does "talk" to us when we come home {that little "growly" noise}
But when annoyed at the other dog she does sound more like a Tasmanian Devil than any other dog I've ever heard.My best friend loves that noise, and loves being here when I bring home groceries. Jazzy guards the grocery bags {large family = lots of bags on floor while things are being put away} from Gypsy. No action, but LOTS of noise. LOL

My daughter Natalie said the other day, "Mommy, Nala just meowed! She really is a cat-dog!!" It was when she was yawning…I've heard it before, but never thought of it as a "meow". LOL!!!
-
yes catdog that's one of the other names we give our B. lol

our felakuti goes barooooooo when he is very very happy. :) we decided to get that little female basenji at Debbie's Petland, the one with the 5 toes..We have named her Queen Nyahbinghi after a warrior queen of the 19th century in Uganda…her call name is Nyah. :) so now we have two lovedoveys. :)
-
Congrats on your new pup. :D
It's very sad the circumstances you had to get her but I understand these poor pups pull on your heart strings even though you know that helping them only supports the terrilbe business that brought her there.
I like her name too!

Congrats on the new one-I wondered how long you could hold out! When you talked of her shivering and being so lonely-I kinda figured you'd be having a new addition.
