• I love the video, especially how there's one on the bed looking at the other three like, "WHY are you making noise? Don't you know we're barkless?" 🙂
    I hope this can get my Lola to roo, too…. I get tiny squeaks when she yawns, but that's about it.

    Thanks for sharing!


  • That makes me glad I ain't got but one of them!!!

  • First Basenji's

    Finally! Cody sings… just a little, but we're getting there!

    Click here for video

    I can't quite figure out how to embed it


  • Sigh, still waiting for Gizmo to discover his voice…1y4m and still nothing. Only when I leave will he howl.

    BTW, wasn't there someone with a Beagle/Basenji mix here, and they where going to try to film as he "barked"?


  • Cody both looks and sings beautifully. I just love the look in his eyes when he's doing it. Well done, Cody!


  • Good job Cody! We knew you could do it, buddy!!

  • First Basenji's

    Nerdy, I have a video of Cody barking. I've had him for 1 yr 4 mos, and it has taken a lot of coaxing and just the right video to get him to sing for me…. you can hear me telling him what a good boy he is as he's doing it. He also gets a handful of small treats afterwards. I usually baroo with the video to try to get him going.


  • Delta has roo'd once - when she saw a snake. Apart from that, no screams, but we have the range of squeaks, cat-yawns, huffs, and grumbles. Little squeaky barks when people come to the house at night.
    The video left her utterly unimpressed… 🙂


  • My fella needs but a few encouraging notes and he's off to the party 🙂 Sadly, the video only made him look at the computer a bit funny. I was hoping for more. I don't want to have to sing myself to get him to start, I want him to do it from a video or something. ( He just ignores me when I play my grandfather's harmonica….I know I have a kazoo around here somewhere :p )

  • 😞 Arwen has yodeled twice in her life, a baroo slightly. She is 8. So add insult to misery, this morning she BARKED (a single bark, than another BARK.. not the boof noise Cara makes, not the barkbark of a dog, but still a bark). Sigh.


  • That video was taken by Susan Kamen Marsicano of APU Basenjis (since 1973). I've been friends with Susan since 94. She has Basenji off spring all over the world. She had 8 Basenjis, she just lost a 16 year old 2 days ago so now it's seven. She's a really good artist too.
