Basenji brooing in their sleep

Off Topic
  • Last night my little basenji girl, Shasta, who was asleep under the covers,
    put her head up and brooed herself awake.:eek:
    Lou and I were reading and just cracked up.
    I so wonder what she was dreaming about.:rolleyes:
    Does this ever happen to your b's?

  • Yep, Squiggy does this once and awhile. The first time it really scared me (live alone…). He didnt wake himself up, he just stopped. The next few times it startled me, but I just laid there and listened and smiled. Squiggy is such a quiet dog, it was funny to here him baroo so loud and for such a long time.

  • It is scary when they do it in the dead of night.
    The first time my b's did it, both hubby and I went around the
    house with flashlights to see if there was something wrong.

  • Yes!!! :eek: and scared the pOOp out of me!! Topaz does this once in a blue moon (literally :D ) The first time she did it I thought a coyote was in the house lol!

  • our basenji's have dreams, sometimes scream, wimper, cry & grunt in their sleep.

    Your baby looks exactly like my "Harry" who I had to put down this past Monday. He had all characteristics of a Basenji, tho I am pretty sure he was a rat terrier/basenji mix. (I wrote about him a few years back on this link: https://basenjiforums.com/topic/15001/more-tales-about-harry-the-autistic-basenji-mix We had him from about 8 weeks old until may 15th at 7:30 am. What a crazy guy. Handsome as all get out. (I always told him that if there was such a magazine as "Handsome Dog magazine", he would be on every cover. I think the reason I am so heartbroken is that he was so hard to bond with and my wife and I took care of him almost like one takes care of an autistic child. Well, I know this is 4 years late...but I am sorry for your loss and hope you found another like your beloved baby. This is a pic of Harry after he lost over 20 lbs because of kidney disease.

    Sorry, but I'd most likeley go for a beagle, that was my very first dog and he was awesome!! Got him off the street…my first 'rescue'...after that, crap, can I say this...a cat.....OUCH!!!...Yeah, I was very lucky with both my B pets, but as I get older, I'm not sure I would be able to handle a young B. However, as I look forward to retiring I'm more than happy to have multiple B's in my home. :) Older ones, like me :)

    gneigum, We posted the thread below and were wonderring if you would be interested in helping us. It would be greatly appreciated if you could! Let us know! Thanks for your consideration. We are currently in the process of looking to adopt a basenji. We have done all the research on the breed and learned about their traits and querks. We have come to the decision that a basenji is the right dog for us. However I suffer from allergies and want to make sure that I don't have an allergic reaction to our new family member. I have done alot of research and have read many artictles which say that basenji's are hypoallergetic. This is great, however no dog is truly allergy free. We have gone as far as visiting a breeder to meet their dogs and had a minor reaction. However I do not know if this was due to the fury little guy or the cigarette smoke in the residence (which I am also allergic to). Long story short, we are looking for a Saskatchewan Basenji owner that would be willing to let us meet their basenji to determine if allergies will be an issue. Please respond if you are a basenji owner in Saskatchewan or near by. Thanks!
