I have noticed another basenji trait this week, Chumley chewed up TWO dog beds. In the two years I've had this chihuahua rescue, only one bed had been holed by the dogs digging in it, and this week, Chumley ate up two beds. lol Got to love him.
Video: Paco "Barked"!

Not the greatest quality video, but all the way at the end, Paco imitates Chico the Chihuahua mix's bark

And this video is just irresistably cute; the two are rumbling over a dog toy:
-
I have a basenji girl who barks as well…my basenji boy usually stops what he is doing and just stares at her!
-
I'm afraid Malaika has barked too
Love the puppy fight vid, especialy when the chihuahua mix pulls Paco around
Great fun. -
A definite bark! Such a cute video that I was laughing out loud. What exhuberance from those dogs. That must be some special toy
-
Great video, really enjoyed watching it! Paco is gorgeous.

All Basenjis can make a single bark. :p

All Basenjis can make a single bark. :p
Yesterday he actually strung a few of them together! I can't be sure if he actually fully stopped making noise in between, but he was playing with the chihuahua again and decided to let out a bar-rawr-rawr-rawrk! lol

There is normally quite a difference between a Basenji 'bark' and that of other dogs even when they try to copy dogs that do bark.
I had a Basenji staying here who did in fact bark like other dogs and I suspected that he might have another breed somewhere in his pedigree.
