Ever seen a B that "learned" to bark?

Basenji Talk
  • Abby makes a noise every once in a while that could be thought of as a bark, but what I think she does is she yodels but cuts it off short so it could sound like a bark! My new baby that I am fostering to adopt doesn't make any noise at all except when he yawns. Now I do have a dog that does bark (enough for all my dogs) but Abby has never caught on to it. However Abby did teach her how to sing! We live in a community that still has a whistle for our volunteer fire department and everyday at noon the whistle goes off, at first Missy would just bark and bark then when I got Abby she sings to the whistle and now Missy does too. I'm hoping she will teach Cooper how to sing as well! :)

  • Abby Basenji..what a sweet story..I would love to hear my dogs sing along to a whistle.

  • Me too. We had a Siberian Husky mix growing up in NJ and she always sang with the noon or the fire whistle.
    I hope you hear the sweet sounds of Cooper singing soon…

    Q
    The coat looks gorgeous - it's just the skin…I have noticed since it is persisting it down here (and cold - well it is Summer...) that the flaking is much better - I wonder if the flat is too dry for him? It has got central heating...which is till occasionally switched on - and it's nearly June :(

    Does anyone know of a website that shows you how to trim a b's tail? Or, should that be left to doggie grooming 'experts'? Kipawa's tail is lovely now, but any bushier and I think I might want to tidy it up.

    Well, bless your heart. But I am afraid this type of "rough" treatment can make this poor dog a problem, down the road. Why do they even have this dog? Status sic?

    Basenji seem to be the masters of the non-verbal put down. And I also agree with Basenji Boy's comment, reminds of that bumper sticker: the more I know of people, the better I like my dog. What is the correct plural of Basenji? 'Basenjis' or 'Basenji'? A Yodel of Besenjis?

    I have seen the people who have dogs in the large crates weighed at check in. Only because it was a large carrier. Honestly I would carry her because it gives the appearance that they are lighter then they appear.
