Your baby looks exactly like my "Harry" who I had to put down this past Monday. He had all characteristics of a Basenji, tho I am pretty sure he was a rat terrier/basenji mix. (I wrote about him a few years back on this link:
https://basenjiforums.com/topic/15001/more-tales-about-harry-the-autistic-basenji-mix
We had him from about 8 weeks old until may 15th at 7:30 am.
What a crazy guy. Handsome as all get out. (I always told him that if there was such a magazine as "Handsome Dog magazine", he would be on every cover. I think the reason I am so heartbroken is that he was so hard to bond with and my wife and I took care of him almost like one takes care of an autistic child.
Well, I know this is 4 years late...but I am sorry for your loss and hope you found another like your beloved baby.
This is a pic of Harry after he lost over 20 lbs because of kidney disease.

Basenji brooing in their sleep
-
Last night my little basenji girl, Shasta, who was asleep under the covers,
put her head up and brooed herself awake.:eek:
Lou and I were reading and just cracked up.
I so wonder what she was dreaming about.:rolleyes:
Does this ever happen to your b's? -
Yep, Squiggy does this once and awhile. The first time it really scared me (live aloneā¦). He didnt wake himself up, he just stopped. The next few times it startled me, but I just laid there and listened and smiled. Squiggy is such a quiet dog, it was funny to here him baroo so loud and for such a long time.

It is scary when they do it in the dead of night.
The first time my b's did it, both hubby and I went around the
house with flashlights to see if there was something wrong. -
Yes!!! :eek: and scared the pOOp out of me!! Topaz does this once in a blue moon (literally
) The first time she did it I thought a coyote was in the house lol! -
our basenji's have dreams, sometimes scream, wimper, cry & grunt in their sleep.
