Barking??
-
When Arnie used to go to the dog parks and another dog near him would bark, he would look around and then look at the dog like-what are you barking about? I do not think Arnie minds Bowie when he woofs because he usually has a reason why-to get those squirrels to come down from the tree!

Its strange. She will "Boof" and sometimes she will BARK LOUDLY and repetitively. And there's no doubt shes a full blood B. Im willing to bet since she was raised in a home with many barking breeds maybe its a learned behavior and she taught herself to do it. I wish I could record it lol. Ill see if I can borrow a recorder from my mother

My fella will give a 'bark' when my dad comes over, he loves my dad and my dad loves him :) He will whine when dad leaves and try to chase the car. Otherwise he is very quiet. He sometime whines when he sees rabbits or squirrels in the yard, and sometime yodels when he wants to play, but he is mostly very quiet. I can get him to yodel, any time, with my harmonica, though :)

How do you know she is a purebred?… Mixes can really fool people.... There was a person in New Mexico that was breeding Fox Terriers to Basenjis and many, many people could not tell if mix or purebred.... by the way, they barked also

Barking is a learned behavior. Guppy barks often and he's a B but he's a monkey see monkey do kinda guy. His B mix sister Norah barks so that's where he gets it from.

Two of mine barked and were never exposed to barking dogs, so I doubt it is that simple. For mine, it was a startle reaction.

When I say "bark", I don't really mean that. What's the word I've heard used? Kinda a chuff, is that it? When my dad visits, my boy is very happy and makes a noise completely different than my neighbors sheltie that just barks at the car pulling into my driveway. :)

'Barking is a difficult term. I'm pretty sure that a Basenji with a normal dog bark isn't pure. However a Basenji does make a sound which to the uninitiated could be mistaken for a bark. In my opinion the sound is made inward rather than outward - that's the only way I can describe it. possibly others can do better? Some Basenjis will do this and some never do.

I know a Basenji can't bark. My Basenji is just starting to understand his yodel…
It's really funny, but isn't that why we love Basenjis.

Yep your totally right on that one Basenjis do see things

Kamar barks a little bit too, not much. Just a tiny "AFF!".
