Late night ROOOO


  • Squiggy sometimes will be sleeping and let out this HUGE LOUD LONG ROOO. He never wakes up from it, but it scares me awake. I am not complaining about it, he is usually a quiet guy, but just curious if anyones elses B does this.


  • Just a lot of snoring from Alani.


  • Nothing here…some heavy breathing & an occassional snore :D


  • Hollie makes some "ummphhhh" (like groaning) kinds of noises when sleeping, especially if disturbed by someone.


  • Maybe a dream?


  • I get a constant snore. I did however accidently scare him while he was sleeping and he shot up and let out this big EERRRRHHHH. Every hair on his body stood up. I think I was more scared than he was. Hahaha!


  • Abbey sleeps like a corpse. She doesn't move at all. Sometimes she appears to have passed away and when I get nose to snout with her to check for vital signs she'll wake up and go What's your problem, mom? I'm trying to sleep here!


  • Happen twice with one of my girls, really scarry HUGE LOUD LONG ROOO :eek: , the first time I even woke up thinking something was wrong. I think she must have been dreaming or would sound more like she had a nightmare.


  • When Hollie whimpers in her sleep and her legs kinda jerk a little, I KNOW she has to be dreaming. She is chasing something, or something is chasing HER!!


  • My oldest male when he was younger and intact would howl and I do mean howl in his sleep when the girls were in season..ggg
    My Mickii snores like a sailor when she sleeps!!!! Kristii "squeaks"…. when she is dreaming...

    I do the same to my B but just to bother him(and show him what it's like to be awakened) and he'll look at me and throw a punch my way. I love how they box, well most of the time at least.

    I know it is scarry! The funny thing is that squiggy is such a quiet guy and when he let out the rooo it really freaked me out (I was sleeping also) I sat straight up and tried to listen to see if anyone was creeping in the house and I got up out of bed to check that the doors were locked, It was then that I realized that squiggy was still sound asleep:)
    The next few times that it has happened I still wake up startled, but then I smile.


  • Our dogs sleep downstairs so it never crossed my mind that Giz was still asleep when he occasionally wakes us up. It is the most unearthly howl I have ever heard. We watched Ghost Hunters last night and between that and the midnight RRRRROOOOOOOO my son was a little creeped out. :D.

    Ok, maybe I was too. It's just erie to wake up to that noise.

    If your feet give reassurance and comfort, that is the place for the Basenji to sleep ! I am a day out out hospital after some rather complicated surgery but although my boys slept with Paul while I was away, last night they were both back in their usual places - at my feet and behind my knees - taking up more than 2/3 of the bed. . .

    I am not up to date on current rabies vaccines for dogs, but I know that in the past there was more than one formulation, as my next door neighbour's dog had an anaphylactic reaction when vaccinated and the vet made a note to use a different formulation for the next annual shot. In future the dog had no difficulties. There are known side effects to most vaccines. Aggression is not one I am familiar with, however, with rabies vaccination in countries that require it there isn't much choice. It would not be my first thought with an 18 month old dog showing aggression. Especially a Basenji objecting to being moved from a comfortable place.

    My little basenji boy, his mom is full bred basenji but his father is a border collie/lab mix. Anyways he has really bad nightmares. I have heard the blood boiling screams and the crying at night. We use to pet him to put him back into a good sleep but that doesn't work anymore so we have to shake him awake. Night terrors happen and the doggy can't move just like humans. Im a vet assistant so she probably just had a really bad nightmare. If it was a night terror it would happen all the time and she wouldn't have jumped out of bed.

    I would go back to the basics and leave the crate in the bedroom. And once he is calm, start moving the crate towards the door. Then outside the room (still in view to see you) and so on, gradually moving to the desired spot you want him to sleep. Patience is key. My B, Gizmo (is 1 years old) will very often sleep in my bed. But if I want a break, he will happily sleep in his crate. The loose stool/pooh, could be a result of him being so uneasy/nervous. It does not take much for puppy's to get loose pooh.

    Thanks for the advice. I'll get her into the vet and give your suggestions a try.
