    Well isn't she a sassy little thing? Thanks so much for the information. I had not heard of this one at all. I will Google it to get more info and find where to purchase! Deb

    Ah ok cool thanks, I had something like that when Safi was smaller and it was the most successful for sure. She outgrew it quite quickly though

    I can't listen to that, it would wake my girl up and well... I'm not into a "sing along" just now. ;) I will say that many canines howl and yodel and bay (at the moon, whenever a fire truck passes, etc.). I'm not certain that any one breed is distinctive enough to have a sound all their own, but many a proud owner would probably assert so.

    A puppy!!! How exciting!!! You mention you will be getting him in January... How old will he be at that time? I know you want to bring him home asap, but please be sure he gets enough time (minimum 10-12 weeks?) with his mom and littermates to learn manners (i.e., how to pull his bites and other dog-to-dog communications) before you bring him home. I can't wait to hear how it goes. My favorite thing to tell people about this breed is that when they love you, it is their idea - it is not because you are a source of food and/or a loving companion. What's better than a basenji? Two basenjis!

    My undergraduate degree was in geophysics with a minor in applied math. I name all my Basenjis after Indian mathematicians. My current Basenjis are Madhava of Sangamagrama (Madhava for short) and Bramagupta (Bramagupta for short). They do respond to their "short" names.
