Oh MY!! Cali Yodeled

    I cant believe it really happened. Cali is a Basenji mix (the vet thinks she is mixed with Jack Russell) and I never thought she would yodel. I had a friend over today and we were listening to music, when all of a sudden during the song Cali started yodeling:D My friend joked that he didnt know my dog could sing:) I have only heard a Basenji yodel on the Basenji episode on Breed About It and also on the internet. I still cant believe it. The only sounds she ever makes are barks, woofs, whining and crying. I was listening to Fergies new CD. The entire episode only lasted about 4 minutes, but I was still shocked. I figured with her being a B mix that I would never experience this. I wish I would have had my voice recorder handy. She must have been in a really good mood today because I gave her 2 of her favorite toys this morning. I tried to get her to do it again, but she ran off and started playing with her toys. She never ceases to amaze me and this was a really good Christmas present.:)
    Happy Holidays,
    Tia and Cali

    My Red boy, Congo, had an awesome BAROO! We were so happy to hear it every time! He couldn't do it enough for my amusement! I don't remember at what age the BAROO's stopped but I'm thinking 14 or 15. When he was in his prime, I think he yodeled at least once a week. Bandit, my 7 year old tri girl, has never BAROOED in her life! She purrs like a cat and cries like a newborn baby, but never a yodel. Hunter, my 2 year old BRAT tri, has a great yodel. His voice usually cracks mid-yodel. Almost like he was a heavy smoker at some point in his short life! He also had the loudest yawn on the planet!:)

    Often dogs don't know WHERE to go, in a new place. So, take them out every 3 hrs and treat/praise with proper elimation. Also, keep the areas of the apt your not in, closed. Keep the dog with you, and if you see the nose down, take it out. This should pass as the dog gets more settled. We travel a lot with our dogs, and we keep them with us in motel rooms, with closets, bathrooms shut. When they act like they are sniffing, we take them out. Also, extra exercise with your b will help. Good luck

    I Yodel at Indi and he yodels back. Usually its right before or during a game of tag. My suggestion would be to get him all worked up playing and then do it.

    I had to board my basenji mix last christmas and it was probably the easy boarding of a dog I have done. I had only had Hollie about two weeks (I adopted her out of a shelter) and our attachment really started when I returned. However, I know my boarder as he is also a groomer who groomed my previous poodle mix. My boarder lives on site where his shop is and actually is the one who informed me that Hollie's other mix besides the whippet she was listed as at the shelter, might be basenji. Boy, was he ever right. My boarder has a strong background in dogs and has showed various breeds with AKC. I think getting to know you boarder well is a good thing, you can feel at ease when leaving your furbaby.
