Lela has always howled like a little wolf, but her full blown yodel is pretty recent ( she is 2,5 y. now). Usually when she feels left alone or doesn't see us.
Binti (3,5 y.) howls a bit too, but less than Lela - she screams much more (at cats). She also has a deep humming sound, not unlike a small outboard engine that is not quite running properly. We hear that a lot when preparing her meals.
We hear from other owners that every individual has a different repertoire.
An extra B for a week!

At the dutch/belgium basenji facebook page someone was searching for a adress who could care for her lovely basenji girl for one week.
We signed up and last saturday they came to visit us with Danusch (the Basenji girl) and Dede (her Lagotto Romagnolo girl)
It was love at first sight, they liked eachother so much!So at the end of october Danusch (and maybe also Dede) is coming to stay a week at the Spranky, sailing along a week!
Here are some pictures I took last saturday!
Danusch
Danusch and Ryan
Buana, Chafuko, Danusch and the curly one Dede
Chaffie is totally in love with Dede
Supervising the area already!We can't wait!!!! It's for us also nice to get used to have a female Basenji in the pack!!!
Next year hopefully we will get our own of course!

Lovely photos, as always! Gorgeous dogs and Ryan… well I think I would give him the biggest hug and squeeze the poop out of him! What a handsome little man!

That's great to hear. It's always fun to introduce B's to another. At least this gives you an opportunity to see what it would be like to have another Basenji in the home. Be sure to have pictures for us when you have the whole pack together that week.
I'm leaving town next week, will be in Amsterdam for about 6-7 days, fortunately have a pet sitter (that has a Basenji) that will be watching Kananga at their home. We've done a few afternoon trials with the two male B's over the last month and they have gotten along OK. It's been fun seeing how they react to each other.
There's something about having another Basenji owner watch our Basenjis. We know that they know what to do and what they're in for…

Awww, so cute. And it's great that you have such a wonderfully socialized pack so that there's probably nothing you can't handle. Have fun!
-
OMG! That can't be little Ryan, can it? He'll be off to university before we know it
-
That's great they're all getting along and your Bs being friendly to the new visitors.
-
Nice gathering, Kim. And Ryan is really getting BIG !!
-
Thank you all so much!
yes, that is Ryan! Two years already WOW! There are more people liking him so much, there are people at the street that go sit for him and getting a hug, and sometimes storeowners give him little presents.. I think the Basenji's are learning him the 'look' !!!The boys are (off leash) also at home very social, when we are mare for the night, we get neighbor ships that also are going to stay the night and lot of them have dogs, they let them run free at other ships and I am so thankfull our boys are social and let them pass 'their' ship….
We never let the boys run free at other ships, once we did meet a German shepard that totally wanted to kill us... -
