Ah yeah though the site that I saw clearly had a picture of a Basenji representing the breed! Your link, they look nothing like Bs
Ba-Roooooooooooooooooooo

One of ours does it more than the others. We actually noticed he does it much more with a toy in his mouth.
-
I know how excited you must be!!! WOW - finally a little vocal, huh? Hollie is a barrooooooer. We call it her "happy" noise. She does it when one of us comes home or when someone she really really likes comes to visit. She will also do it at the park or during playdates. A sign of a very happy Hollie!!!

Zahra makes this sound that reminds me of a chimp, I don't even know how to type the noise. She makes the noise when we are getting off the exit ramp to the dog park and as we get closer to the dog park. She also makes this noise when she hasn't seen my husband in a while.
Today I took them to Doggie Day Care put picked them up early, I was having a bad day and all I could hear was Zahra making these noises as they went back to get her and Chase from the yard. I can't explain to you guys how good that made me feel, I almost cried!
-
Daisy's noise reminds me a bike horn - the kind you squeeze the rubber bulb? Imagine squeezing it lightly with little horn sound. Chimps kind of make that of sound too - I think. Daisy does it when she's excited - happy and playful.

Capt. Jack has become more and more vocal thru the months! Now he baroos at LEAST once a day but usually way more…Sometimes my husband gets frustrated when Jack gets excited and baroos several LONG loud ones in a row and tells him to get quiet, but then the Alfa Female (ME) bites the Alfa Male (Hubby) because i LOVE LOVE it when Jack yodels and i want him to do it as much as possible, LOL...now, on the other hand when he's outside and we leave, Jack cries (whines) for a bit, esp. if hes outside and we are in the other yard doing lawn work...he hates that he can see us but cant be next to us, hubby gets frustrated with the whining, so do i...he can get pretty loud. BUT its not too bad, He usually only does it for about 10 minutes and then settles down...I hope when the baby is FINALLY born (i was due on the 14th) That Jack doesnt Baroo and wake him lol...cant wait until that happens, Dh isnt going to be too happy, LOL...but Basenjis will be Basenjis!!! hahaa

Capt_Jack_our_Basenji, The baby has been listening to Jack baroo as long as you have. Odds are the baby will sleep right through it most of the time.
-
Thats a good point, lol…probaby might be a conforting thing for the baby actually!! hehee
-
I get a baroo when I come home from work and if I'm ignoring her and she wants my attention. NOBODY gets a baroo like when my father-in-law comes to visit…what can I say, my dog's a big flirt!
-
Our 4-yr old tri male, Buddy, is one of those silent B's that seem to have been born without vocal chords at all. However, we were astonished to hear him baroo a few weeks ago in response to our daughter's viola practicing. I think she's wearing out the viola bow trying to get him to baroo more frequently now:D
-
Kane yodeled all the time. Whenever he saw me he'd yodel, and sometimes he'd go right up to my grandpa, look him in the eye and say "barloooorOOOolrooOooroorlooo" (I know there were lots of "L"s in his yodel.)
And my grandpa would say something like "no swearing in this house young man!" -
EL D will baroo when he's really excited about something (like I'm late with his dinner) but he doesn't drag it out, just a "baroo". I'll have to try encouraging him with N.F. songs!
-
Senji usually baroos when he's mad at me about something. Usually if I'm leaving to go out, I'll say "bye bye" to him and he'll baroo because he's mad that I'm leaving. He'll also baroo when I come back home, as if to say "how can you leave me?" He also has his happy baroo when other members of the family come over for a visit. And there's also the baroo when he hears the fire engine sirens.

Mickii Baroos to tell me that someone other then her did something bad while we were at work or out… gggg.... of course it was never her....

Blondie does this too

I'll never forget the first baroo out of my last little girl. She was only about 10 weeks old. The whole family (6 of us) were standing in the kitchen laughing and talking when she ran in and sat right down in the middle of us and let out the sweetest little barroo I had ever heard!! The little guy we have now is not very barrooey at all.
-
<sniff>not a peep. I could cry.
I wish our little guy would say something. Not even an Umf.</sniff> -
Leo occasionally stretches out a squeak when he yawns, but no baroos or yodels yet. Nexa is a baroo machine, we encourage it:) We think Leo makes noise when we come home, but before he is out of the crate, but it’s hard to tell. Nexa is loud enough you can’t tell if it’s just her or if he is chiming in. No hard evidence yet.

Cory is silent most of the time but she does have a collection of sounds. Her Barooooo is usually for "Where have you been? I missed you so much!" The single Woof is usually when she is sounding an alert - especially if something startled her. Then she has a couple of sounds that aren't really too describable. She has one one sound that is clearly a string of dog obscenities! When you hear that one, you know you have been chewed out. Then she has a 4th noise that our daughter describes as a "goat doing a man burp." You'd swear she was swallowing her tongue and making sort of a bleat noise at the same time. And then she does have her run of the mill growl. She usually saves that for the Vet.

As I posted early in this thread it is all my girls who are talkers. Rally has a nice clear Baroo. She also has a rev up to a baroo which some people think is growling but is really just her getting excited but not quite enough to fully ROO. Both her daughters do this also but Sophie much more than Rio. It is like a "RRRR, RRRR, RRRR, RRRR" sound and if you can get them excited enough they will folloow with "RRRR, RRRR, RRRR, RRR, ROOOOOOO". Rio does not do so much of the revving up but she sort adds a "blah, blah, blah" to the end of some of her yodels especially if she is tattling.
Nicky reserves almost all of his happy vocalizations for trying to get the girls to play with him or for the "bunny" at lure coursing. They are all "please play with me" sounds.

I LOVE the 'blah, blah, blah' at the end. Blondie is our only one that does that…it is like a continuing conversation. And like you said, she doesn't build up usually, but belts out the begining like Esther Williams...then 'wah,wah' at the end.
Of our six, 3 baroo pretty regularly..and 3 are silent except when unhappy. Strangely...those three (the quiet ones) are all very closely related.
