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

When Jazz is startled she'll make a quick "wup" noise, and it's always just one sound and that's it. I've only heard her do it three times in the two years we've had her.

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!!!

Congrats on your new puppy. I think 2 is definately better than one. Post some pictures.

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.

Good luck with your pup….. hopefully you got her for a reasonable price... I would be interested to know if AKC papers came with her... and what the breeding is, if available.... also would hope that with the time she spent in the Pet Store, this will show them that a Basenji is not a good business decision.....
