@elbrant That's how all my 8-some learned to catch.
If food dropped on the floor - you lost it ! So they all stood on their hind legs and it was like feeding a nest of fledgling sparrows. A gentle toss of the treat and someone caught it !

Welcome to the forum. You just ask and we will try to help you. We are always learning. I've had 3, 2 were fairly quiet, 1 was a yodeler. I'm getting my forth next weekend and I've heard he's a charmer and quite a yodeler. That's funny because I was thinking of naming him Buddy.

Welcome to the forum!

Welcome to the pack! I've had three and my current one is the only one that does much vocalization - but hasn't yet yodelled. So they don't all do so.

Welcome to the forum Buddy's Pal - i only have 1 basenji at the moment - she is a real yodeller - especially in the morning or at feeding time.

Thank you all for the intro of yourselves! I have just tried to get an album up, but am having trouble, I'll get it though! I have already learned a lot about the 'African Bush Thing'(that is what basenji means in the native language, read it some where) (when he is running through the woods, I see the white flash, I can only guess what the ancient peolpe thought of this breed???!!!)

You are so right about new things every day.!!!

Mine got his name because he just seemed to go to everyone and all other dogs, wanting to be a buddy!

Hey Anne, you sure have a pretty boy(girl?) Black is one color you don't seem to see very often. How's life in Tampa with a basenji? What do you do for exercise? Is yours a speaker? With all this rain lately, I've noticed Buddy staying close to the house and when inside, has really been behaving, only tore up tissues once…...He lives with my 8y/o lab mix and the female hound mix Candi, she and Buddy play,play,play....I live up in Crystal River, just an hour away....
