Scarlett's first baroo!

Basenji Talk

  • Scarlett was sound asleep in the couch in th living room the other day snoring and she started moving her feet like she was running and let out the quietest little baroo ever.:D About ten minutes later she did the same thing a little louder. I called her name and she never even heard me, just went back to snoring. She occassionally whimpers and whines if she wants something and can't get it herself but other than that she is pretty much silent. Has anyone else's B done that…baroo in their sleep?


  • My b's do this…often its at the dead of night...we all wake up, except the singing b.
    The first time this happened, as they sleep under the covers with us..it made us jump up and look around. LOL!
    Now we just pat them and go back to sleep.


  • Mine haven't baroo'd in their sleep…but they bark all the time :D . Really weird, especially Ruby because she doesn't normally bark.:rolleyes:


  • Mine barks in her sleep; short little snips and her feet look like they are running. she's sound asleep. I too just pat her and go back to sleep. I'd love to know what she's dreaming about.


  • Mine barks in her sleep too and looks as if she is running. It's really strange as she is silent during the day. They really are lovely dogs, full of surprises.
    But the barking is the best, especially when she sneaks onto my bed at night and tends to reach for one of my pillows, hoping I won't notice. The snoring wakes me up but the short barking sounds…


  • Funny about yodels… my Kristii never really yodeled until she was 13 yrs old...ggg... she will yodel at me now when I come home... it is too funny... however, before she would howl... and it as certainly a howl.. not a yodel....

    My boy OJ (to be 17 on Tuesday) has still never yodeled in his life... he would howl in his sleep when his was in-tact and the bitches in the house were in season...

    Querk did this a few times also….scared the cr@p out of us!!


  • I have to agree with Andrea, it scared the crap out of us too. Mick is not a vocal boy but when he does Baroo I wish he would do it again. It's so sweet.

    You can find a lot of puppy collars at thrift shops for pretty cheap - would never pay full price for one. I'm getting mine at 14 weeks and was told that 8-12 inches was what was being used - then at 4- 6 months graduate to 10-14 inch collar.

    I love it when they talk and yodel. Whenever they do I always give them huge praises and lots of pets, though this positive reinforcement does not seem to yield any more yodels. I am very excited when I do get them.

    Please post pics. Love to see Bs enjoying the snow! We had some snow last year. Having spent almost all of his life in sunny Southern California, Spencer was not impressed. Not one little bit!

    @Quercus: I am pretty sure the spinning was an initiation rite ;) I have never heard of that before…but I can just imagine you saying 'well, ooookay' :) Hang in there, it is always hardest with your first show dog...try to have fun! That's exactly what I said but it was right after I said "Seriously, you want me to do what?" :D The judge was a long-time basenji breeder so I figured she knew what she was talking about. @Quercus: I guess the moral of this story is that you will meet some jerky judges while you do this, and you may feel embarrassment and shame in their rings…but you will live through it, and be able to laugh later. The behavior of people who wish to shame you says more about them, than it does about you :) my inspirational message of the day. Thanks, I like that inspirational message. It's a good mantra for when I get a jerky judge. :)
