Yes, I try yodeling myself to get him to make a peep, but my attempts are always futile.
I'll try the praising everytime he makes a singing noise
I guess some basenjis aren't very vocal, while others are.

Just curious, but is there any way to teach a basenji to yodel?
I know a lot of basenjis just do it on their own, and some pick up on different noises, but the only vocalization I've heard from mine so far were small whimpers, gruff 'barks', and the occasional ah-roo when he yawns.

I let him listen to other basenjis singing, but he just run through the house trying to find the other 'dog' :rolleyes:
I'd really love to hear a full baroo from him…will he ever do it on his own or will he stay yodel-mute?

Yes, Phil's the one.

We haven't gotten him Fanconi tested yet, because a site said that you won't be able to know for sure until they are 3 years of age (?)
If thats false then we'll get him tested immediatly.

He's from a reliable breeder in Colorado, because unfortunately we didn't find any nearby basenjis in my area.

And thanks for all the comments

Hi, I just recently discovered this place while browsing info for basenjis, so I've finally joined. I have one basenji, Charlie, who's going on 8 months old and he's a tri-color.

He enjoys stealing my socks and hiding them, as well as chewing on slippers
