I had a brother and sister basenjis and they were quiet as a mouse but when I sold the sister and he made these same god awful howl sounds. Great dogs but they can tear up if they are bored. One them tore up my childhood bible.
It's so hard to look for a dog based on breed, specially if the breed is Basenji. It's like nobody breeds these? Where do you suggest finding a place with a good variety of Basenji's like yours (i love that type of color and pattern on the basenji).
This is one of my favorite dog videos on YouTube. I get such a kick out of it. I have two shibas and an Alaskan malamute. Pondering getting a basenji in the future. From the research I've done they seem to be very similar in temperament to shibas. Look forward to seeing more videos of your pups!
@EuroStatus1985 I hope all worked out with getting your puppy!
They take time and patience and love. They act like toddlers but are also wonderful. Hope yours worked out! And no they only howl at certain music, tones and if they hear us outside they sometimes think its cute to get in the stairway and howl!
@chasingamy21 Please find a reputable breeder. Also BRAT (basenji rescue and transport) places basenji's for adoption. Check out the Basenji Club of America if you are looking for a reputable breeder and do not get one in a pet store!
Ohhhhhhhh my gosh! I can't stop laughing! XD My friend has a lab who gets a little weirded out by cell phones, but nothing compared to even one of these dogs! And all 5 of them is just hilarious!!!
I'm looking for a great breed to raise with my baby here in the next month and I thought of a Basenji and this video may have sealed the deal. This is too funny. =D
Ohh my goosh dont u have to laugh the whole day?! hahahaha I cant stop laughing about my two basenjis and u got 5 ?!?!?!?!?! hahahahaha Stupid dooggies hahahahahaa Love them!!!
Well, at least if you leave your phone at home at night and you are not there then no burglers will come because someone will call your cell and your dogs will start singing and get the burglers caught. Lol Right? Really they are cute. How did you end up with five of them?
OH THAT IS AWESOME!!!!! Missy does that alone, but i can imagine how it is with 5 of them! Oh wow, you are SOOO lUCKY!!! That would be a dream of mine, to raise 5 basenjis in my house! I LoVE THIS BREED! They are amazing!!!!!!!!
O my god, funny. Basenji alert system. I got one 11 months ago. She'll growl (look out), whine, and squeek when she yawns. That's it, totally silent otherwise.
Oh damn! I have a Basenji (Tri Color) and a golden-brown Manchester Chihuahua... When the Basenjo goes off, the chihuahua does, and this is exactly how it sounds, without the back up singers of course xD cute
Why do I own a Basenji? This video!!! That is the ultimate in Basenji behavior.... just throw some grabass and the B-500 and you have the whole story of the breed!
Just be prepared to spend a lot of extra time working with it and learn to have a lot of patience. And of the two we've had, neither got along with our other dogs.
SO FUNNY INDEED!!! lol..!! my best friend owns a female basenji, she's the cutest thing, but very elusive, kind of growls at me for some unknown reason, I can't resist her cute face...she's chewed every piece of wood furniture at my friends house!!! she has the sharpest teeth...soooo adorable I would love to own one...but I know I'll go crazy...
Stupid people... You think that a cell phone tone would hurt their hearing? Why in hell would they start singing even louder? Furthermore... A dogs hearing isn't more sensitive than ours, they just hear more frequencys... And third. Basenji's doesn't do this very much. They are mostly a pretty quiet race (some individuals might be more vocal than others), but they are a primitive race, and thus being very flock oriented. One starts yodeling, all others start up. Even a human can start them up!
Actually they only do this when my cell goes off and with certain music, tones or singing. We cannot leave HGTV on while gone because the theme song of Divine Design really gets them going and they love the echo in the stairwell! So we let them watch c-span.Its pretty low key. They are very quiet normally and of course they are barkless.
Omg, I could never stand having one, let alone FIVE of those dogs. Too loud for me. I would go insane pulling my hair out and wrapping pillows around my head. Cute, but annoying as hell, imo.
my reaction was to how many Basenjis were the house not the vocals. I think the sound must have hurt their hearing. And how do you get all the Basenjis to get along.
i only have one basenji hes not vocal at all. unless we're leavig him home. i wish i could get another because i think companions bring out the vocalization in them
haha i named my basenji basenji because i thought it was a cool name xD except he only howels when we howel so.... hes real good for a basenji... the only problem we have still after 3 years is he loves getting gum xD
They seem really cute but I wonder if they are a pain in the ass to train. My parents have a corgi who is a ball of attitude but I think it's just because they spoil him.
