Basenji yodel

Forgot to say that when I played it, my two cats hid under the sofa!

I played for my husband and he came pretty close to hiding under the sofa, too!

Oh my Gosh have any of you seen the you tube video "The Great Basenji Hunter?" It is unbelievable. This is truly a side to a basenji I have never ever seen and hope I never will. Here it is.

jack is pretty much silent, but I imagine that while I am at work during the day, he sings his heart out with no one around.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vy3zwzHL0LsI really didn't like this video and watch the way the owner kept annoying the dog and entice him to bite! I have seen mine grunt a bit if I try to move her from a comfortable place but I deal with that quickly: either I leave her a lone or I talk to her when I am approaching her, don't look at her in the eyes, grab her collar and move her. Did that a few times and now she knows the scenario and moves when she sees I mean "I'm the boss". I don't think it's a good idea to annoy them when they are growling like on the video as they don't know what we want out of them. It's not unique to Basenjis, my small italian greyhound was doing the same. I think Basenjis are intelligent dogs and understand quickly when we are not amused.

we're trying to make him watch the video… but he just turned around and went back to sleep.
is there a certain age that they start to yodel? he's already 4 months and we've yet to hear him make a sound. either then the occasional whinning.
we wish he was a singer.

I played your video this morning. Cory just slept through it but Jayden was VERY interested. He finally got up into my lap to watch it on the computer screen.

Most likely going to be "quiet" and not a "singer"….

This past winter, Ruby's breeder has a bitch who had a litter of pups that were singing before their eyes were fully open (the "Jazz" litter)…it was the cutest thing I've ever seen. So based on that, I'd say "no" there isn't a certain age.

Jack makes this Yawning sound when he is irritated with us for not showing him enough attention, or if I'm not fast enough to take him out…..It used to be just a morning stretch thing, but I started praising him like crazy, and now he does it to talk to us. He did it once while I was on the phone with my mom, and she was seriously alarmed trying to figure out what it was.
The other funny thing is that Jack never barked until we went for Christmas to my sisters. She has a big dog and my parents dog was there as well....both barkers....after we came back from there, every once in a while he will let out one short bark.
So, from that, I think that praise and the example of other dogs can maybe encourage the noise-making tendencies. Although, just like people, if a dog is a quiet dog, it probably won't matter how many singers you get them around, they probably won't get there.

You are more likely to have a big talker when they do start before the eyes are open…. some are just quiet, some are really big talkers...

Booger never was much of a talker. Lola never shuts up at home. And when she gets going, Booger is likely to show off a bit, too.

i know that he's "quiet"…
i just thought it would be "cool" if he yodeled like the other basenjis in the video.and i was just wondering if there was a certain time that they'd do that. but obviously he's going to be "quiet."

Oh to have a silent Basenji. Our Bitty has, unfortunately, learned that the loudest dog gets fed first, and yips and yodels from the instant I move toward the garage door (where we have to keep their food) until I put her dinner before her. Her other loud period is every evening when my wife comes in the door from work, all 3 of the puppers flock to her and vocally announce 'momma's home' at the top of their lungs. It must be wonderful to be so loved, ha ha.
