Welcome to the forum!
Some Basenjis are more vocal than others. We have one boy who yodels constantly, every time we come home, and when spoken to. We ask him, "How was your day?" and he tells us in detail. We also have group sing-alongs - usually started by our talkative boy, who gets almost everyone to join the chorus - but we have a couple of others who, when the singing starts, just sit and stare perplexedly at the singers.Terry

Welcome to the forum, you will love it here. It is full of antics, knowledge, fun compare-alls and lots more. I have a4 month old boy, Otis and he is not verbal at all (yet), then I heard that some are more "talkative" then others.
Good Luck with Buddy and I might as well say it 'cause it will come up….we want pics, let us see your pretty boy.Basenjimamma

Welcome to the forum. You just ask and we will try to help you. We are always learning. I've had 3, 2 were fairly quiet, 1 was a yodeler. I'm getting my forth next weekend and I've heard he's a charmer and quite a yodeler. That's funny because I was thinking of naming him Buddy.

Welcome to the pack! I've had three and my current one is the only one that does much vocalization - but hasn't yet yodelled. So they don't all do so.

Welcome to the forum Buddy's Pal - i only have 1 basenji at the moment - she is a real yodeller - especially in the morning or at feeding time.

Thank you all for the intro of yourselves! I have just tried to get an album up, but am having trouble, I'll get it though! I have already learned a lot about the 'African Bush Thing'(that is what basenji means in the native language, read it some where) (when he is running through the woods, I see the white flash, I can only guess what the ancient peolpe thought of this breed???!!!)

You are so right about new things every day.!!!

Mine got his name because he just seemed to go to everyone and all other dogs, wanting to be a buddy!

Hey Anne, you sure have a pretty boy(girl?) Black is one color you don't seem to see very often. How's life in Tampa with a basenji? What do you do for exercise? Is yours a speaker? With all this rain lately, I've noticed Buddy staying close to the house and when inside, has really been behaving, only tore up tissues once…...He lives with my 8y/o lab mix and the female hound mix Candi, she and Buddy play,play,play....I live up in Crystal River, just an hour away....
