Does your Basenji go umph?

Basenji Talk
  • 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

  • @luzmery928:

    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.

    HAHA! me too! I'm like 'she Baroos and grrrrows' XD

  • 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

  • we call ours man cat LOL

  • Max burps too and snorts. He's just funny. I've never had a dog like him. Ot seems like every Basenji is spoiled rotten:)

  • 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 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.....

    I read your blog and find it kind of confusing and ….. your comment about "messing with ..." hmmmmmmm.... Anyhow, yes, it is so cool when you come across another basenji, because they totally understand each other and how they want to play. We were fortunate once to have another basenji play chase with Kipawa at a dog park. I just don't think there are many basenjis in the Lower Mainland. :(

    lol usually when you breed a bigger dog to a smaller dog the Male is the tiny one. Its just dangerous to do it the other way around. As far as DNA breed testing I would go for it if I could. But i am just interested in those kinds of tests. We offer them at our clinic but i haven't ever seen results for them.

    @phoenix3: Looks like a B to me but i think more of a B mix he looks like he has corse hair Maybe be has the size of a cattledog body and a basenji head :) My Aspen is a cattledog/ terrier mix he has the body of a cattledog {the colors} and the height and face of a terrier heres a pic so u can see the colors of the cattledog well one color anyways :D :D phoenix3 - this is Aspen? I'm so amazed at her spots, because my Daisy has spots like Aspens. We know her mother is pure R/W Basenji and she is thought her other half Beagle. One of her other litter mate moms thought Blue Healer (cattledog). But I subscribed to the Beagle. Daisy could be … Cattle Dog I suppose. She's bigger than Duke now at almost 9 months old. I will show her off soon on "Show Off" forum soon.
