Anyone Else's B Make Noise When They Yawn?

Basenji Talk
  • All 3 of mine do this but Belle is probably the one that does it the loudest, she likes the sound of her own voice. As soon as we got to our own benches at Crufts and she spotted all the other B's she let rip with the yodels:D

  • Dallas makes a little squeak type sound when he yawns as well. I think it is so cute :)

  • Both tayda and lenny make a noise when they yawn. hard to describe how it sounds… but i love it! Its like a low pitched squeaky noise w/ some reverberation to it. I laugh every morning when they do it

  • Yep. Kananga does this everyday. Usually when he's bored/anxious/tired. When he's nervous or frustrated they will be longer Roo's. But usually when he's in a normal state they are brief.

    I love it as well. :)

  • Both of my furkids make that yawning sound in the morning, sitting next to me in bed. I think they they do it so I get up and feed them! "Mom! - it's time to get up…we have to pee and we're hungry...please get up." LOL :D

  • Yup Bella does that, too! It's so adorable…:D

  • Magnum does it, too. Such a cute little noise at the end.

    Yawning is [supposedly] contagious. I know I yawn (or at least want to) when seeing other humans yawn, but I don't seem to be compelled to so when I see an animal yawn. What is your experience?

  • Eli does it all the time and then theremis Kitkat that hardly ever does. Eli does it the most when he is tired and fist thing in the morning. I think it is so cute.

  • Shaye also sort of squeaks when she yawns - I think it's something most of them do. Yesterday she sort of muttered when on a long ride, because she didn't want to stay in the back seat - cute low sound. Whenever we have to put her in the crate because we are going off, she screams and it's the most dreadful sound - she also still pees and poops in the crate - I'm really hoping she can get used to it, as even though we try, we cannot be here 24/7…..

    Anyone else have that problem?

  • My previous beasties didnt' but Gossy does the yawning squeak all the time. She also has a little "bark" that she does when I scold her. Her kennel name (table Talk) was well chosen.

  • Indy has learned to make the sound of a hissing goose when he yawns. He thinks its funny!

  • Katie does a yawn-morph. Whenever she wants someone to go out with her, she starts with the yawn and morphs it into the 'owe' sound. Sometimes when she snaps it off quickly it sounds eerily close to the word out.

    I'd love to hear the audio of the hissing goose sound rnasto. I can't begin to imagine that coming from a B. It would scare the crap out of me:D.
    (I had a couple of mad hissing goose experiences when I was younger–a friend had them as watch dogs on their horse farm)

  • I'll see if I can catch him in the act for ya

  • My little 13 week old is so vocal I almost forget she is a 'barkless dog'! She baroos constantly, makes the strange noise when she yawns (which as many of you have said we just melt when we hear it) and even barks at other dogs when walking her! She is the complete opposite of my 4 year old B who makes next to no noise at all. It is something to get use to.

  • Ripley does this as well! I was so excited the first time he did it. It's the cutest thing ever :) He's started to make noise more often now, and I'm really excited. I hope he is vocal when he gets older, I love their noises!

    I'm afraid If I do decide to get another I won't have a chance to introduce them beforehand as it Will probably be a puppy I bring from the US.. I doubt there will be a problem since she will be a young puppy…
  • It's raining.. it's pouring.. my lovely morning.

    Jayden is super gross when it comes to what he'll eat: poop, vomit, and, if he pees on the patio, he'll lick that. Honest!!! We feed him and we feed him very well! Yucccchhhhh! Pat

    I think I saw Sophie on a b video website and I was so glad that someone else's B made that noise I showed it to my husband and daughter. Thanks for posting that video because as a new B owner we thought we had some kind of devel dog!!! She does it the most to our oldest dog Josie. There are nights she even does it from under our covers in bed when she hears Josie moving out in the living room. Too Funny!!!!
  • 2 B's are we nuts?

    Does he know sit or down? If not, should teach him… and then when your daughter comes out of her room, she should immediately have him sit.. (would help at first if she has treats for him)... then she can reward him for doing a behavior that is acceptable... I was thinking the same thing. This is how I got caesar to stop jumping up on people at the door when he would try to greet them.
  • What do your B's do when they hear this??
