Yodels/Baroo….

Basenji Talk
  • My EL D has never really baroooed that I know of. He's come close and maybe he would at his original kennel with all his family around but not for me. :(

  • Ruby's a big baroo'er…she'll baroo to greet, baroo when she is happy, baroo to get a bully stick, baroo to get her dinner. Since Brando joined the family, she'll baroo at him if he isn't paying attention to her.

    Brando so far has only barked (he didn't read the basenji manual of noises :D). He's barked multiple times in a row at my father and at a house guest...but this weekend, he barked once at me but it was actually a note, not just a bark, so I'm hopeful Ruby's singing will catch on.

  • I've tried barooing for the dogs with no results. I wonder if I keep at it, they'll finally catch on. Duke screams when Raj plays too rough or you trip over him (I'm kind of a klutz). Raj has barooed once. That was when we first picked them up from the breeder. He barooed, pooped all over the crate, then proceeded to step and sit in it. What a lovely first 15 minutes we had with our boys!

  • Dallas is VERY vocal sometimes but as far as baroo-ing, not so much. I think I have only heard him do it 2-3 times since I've had him? It is cute though & I wish I could get him to do it more often!

    Dallas will also bark. It's a whimpy bark but what I would consider a bark nonetheless. He only does that though when he is in his crate & wants out & knows people are in the house.

    Haha, LOL! :D

  • my girl has not made a peep until today - it was not a yodel not a baroo, it was a full on BARK like, woof woof, and totally strange… Does anyone elses B bark???

    ps. She Ra is only 4 months, but I just thought I would throw it out there....

    Yup…Brando is a barker...and does it multiple times in a row...I've yet to hear him yodel or baroo. Although one of his barks the other day was clearly a note so I'm hopeful he'll follow Ruby's lead and start singing once in a while. Ruby has only barked once (a single bark at that) and it was when my brother startled her late at night.

  • My girl barks…and she will do it over and over, if she is mad at her brother, or wants some attention.
    I think this is a warning sound...she doesn't make any other noises however.
    My boy freezes in his tracks when she does it to him!
    Always makes me laugh.

  • Talker is the talker in our pack. He yodels and barroooos and makes all types of sounds. He will also bark one bark at a time. Sometimes he'll do two in a row.

    Savannah never yodels, but she'll give out one warning bark. Its short. She'll whimper when she's happy but she's never yodel.

    Hahaha… that sounds like Charlie when Zaire hits him. He stopped being terrified of her noisesso now she has tried whining, screaming, and one quick bark at him. He never backs down now, untill she starts smacking him on the nose. then he doesn't know what to do and just lays down. :D

    Just seeing this, not sure how I missed it but I am so sorry. Yes, blessed with nearly 16 yrs… but that's more years to leave a bigger hole in your heart.

    Ready to commit myself!!! Hahaha.. Alleycat- so incredibly adorable, I love the look on his face in the first one…might be a hint of mischief in there?! Lol The little black and white bundles get me everytime! I fell in love with breed and wanted a red and white...but after receiving Oakley...it's hard not to have the black and whites melt me. Take lots of pics, it goes by quicker than I remember thinking it would. Love his wide white stripe and his little white mitten foot in the back...he looks overall to be a "cool, laid back type"?! Perhaps it's because I was so used to the panic look as Oakley was panicked by many things back then!

    @nobarkus: That video was taken by Susan Kamen Marsicano of APU Basenjis (since 1973). I've been friends with Susan since 94. She has Basenji off spring all over the world. She had 8 Basenjis, she just lost a 16 year old 2 days ago so now it's seven. She's a really good artist too. http://www.apubasenjis.com/ Really nice website! Thanks for sharing.

    My Red boy, Congo, had an awesome BAROO! We were so happy to hear it every time! He couldn't do it enough for my amusement! I don't remember at what age the BAROO's stopped but I'm thinking 14 or 15. When he was in his prime, I think he yodeled at least once a week. Bandit, my 7 year old tri girl, has never BAROOED in her life! She purrs like a cat and cries like a newborn baby, but never a yodel. Hunter, my 2 year old BRAT tri, has a great yodel. His voice usually cracks mid-yodel. Almost like he was a heavy smoker at some point in his short life! He also had the loudest yawn on the planet!:)
