That’s what we were going for! Glad we could help. We hope you’ll check out some of the other videos on our channel too! 😊

Yup exactly. So annoying when some people upload 10 minute videos about stuff like this that only needs like 10 seconds to show it

There’s a place for the longer videos, but I totally agree that short and to the point is often better. If you’ve got 10 minutes of content that’s going to be valuable go ahead and put it out there, but if 9 minutes of it is filler just so you can have a longer video… But these are things we learn as we go. I’ve been guilty of adding pointless filler to videos myself in the past. 😇

@@BasenjiAdventures yeah it's easy to do lol. I haven't made many videos, and the ones I have done are deleted. But when I send videos to friends that I made or when I just explain stuff it's always too long

Yes really glad I found it

What was his name?

Yep I never get over losing any of my Basenjis have bred and sowed them since 1981. Retired from ring but still have my boys. Life without a Basenjis at your side lacks meaning to me ❤️❤️

Wow he made his own death chant. That's... eerily beautiful

RIP Nameless, The Barkless Basenji.

yes

The miniature poodle on my lap ignored all other sounds; EXCEPT, when she heard the Basenji howl. Then she looked up as if to say, "where are you, I'm coming to help".

We love that about them too! Zinga and Zulu don’t yodel though. But they do dance 💃 🤗🐕🐕🐾🐾 thank you for subscribing!

@@BasenjiAdventures I've grown up or had family raise 7 basenjis, and all were different. Its a really cool thing to hear. Never had a loud one, and only a few "garoo'd". But that could be due to most being rescue dogs.

I wanna buy a basebji since young

They’re a great breed! 😊

@@Midlife_Crisis_ We rescued a half Basenji half Chihuahua little guy. He has had 2 little kids and when a police car, ambulance or fire engine goes past, lordy, do they baroo?! We have a choir on our hands. Fortunately that doesn't happen too often 🐕🌵💗😜

Very true. However I’ve never known one to make noise just for the sake of making noise. 🤗 Until you leave them alone for the first time - then all bets are off. 🤣

So... what IS a dog breed that wont make noise?

@@taylorbreckenridge6390 There is no breed that won't make noise. That being said, I would look at mastiff/bully breeds over a basenji if sound was a huge issue due to my living conditions.

​@taylorbreckenridge6390 my Rhodesian Ridgebacks have always been extremely quiet. In my apartment, our girl only barked if someone knocked on the door, then stopped immediately when she confirmed that I was aware 😂 They are willful and independent like Basenjis. Both are African dogs

Pity, I've got tinnitus thanks to barking neighbors' dogs, can't stand even barking on tv. I'm fine with howling, often felt myself like howling, dreamed about Tibetan mastiff to bark few times and stop them. Owners were 'deaf', one narcissistic.

🤣🤣🤣

Sweet! Our tri-color girl, Sheba was really quiet but tried to bark. We would get one little bark and that was it.

Aww. I’ll bet it was. Love the head tilt! ☺️🐕🐕🐾🐾

It was the same for mine !! He was listening and turned his head sometimes 😂

Glad you enjoyed the video. It is true that they don’t bark, but as you may have seen they’re not always quiet. 😇 And yes, Ginger did have a cute little dance. 😄

That’s usually caused by separation anxiety. Do you know how long she’s had her Basenji? Ours did that at the beginning, but once they got used to the home and being alone they didn’t do it anymore.

Since dogs experience much of the world with their sense of smell, here is a way to help your pet to deal with separation anxiety. Wear a T shirt or some other piece of clothing that you don't mind if it gets ruined. Wear it for at least 3 hours before leaving the house without your pet. Wearing it to bed overnight is best, if you can. I wore mine when I went running or working out. Put the T shirt somewhere that the dog has access to. Your scent will be a great comfort to your dog. In addition, leaving a radio or TV on while you're gone helps a bit, too. Did you ever wonder if dogs can tell time? They seem to know when certain people will be home soon & wait at the door or watch, through a window. Each individual smells different to a dog. Each person's scent is all over the home. When a person leaves the home, to go to work, for example, their scent begins to fade. When the persons scent is at a certain stage of fading, then they come home, the dog knows when to expect the person back by the strength of the scent. Pretty cool, hmm?

They absolutely can tell time! Just about every day at 4:55 PM our Zulu will come in with that looks saying it’s dinner time. 😂

@@FreeSpirit47 My dog was delighted when i arranged sofa and pillows to give her the access to the window. And she would go bananas seeing me returning home:)

@@RG-iw7py I brought my puppy home on March 8th. He takes up most of my time. Training him, teaching him, walking him, playing with him. I don't remember what life was like without him. I love him so much.

Yes, I learned from the comments on my previous video so I knew I had to do a better job with this one. 😊

They're amazing! Welcome to the channel! 😁

That's how I learned of them about 25 or more years ago when I was a kid 🙂 yet I saw my first one in real life today and got so excited when I showed my daughter that I had to find a video for her.

@Doglovers6 So glad you found the breed and our channel! 😁

And it is soooooo loud!

@@b4letta64 it is mate. basenjis are great lol

Thank you. 😊 So glad we could help you see what the yodel is all about!

Yep. It’s real. 🤗🐕🐕🐾🐾

Snapple got me here too 🤣

You’re welcome 😊 We invite you to check out our other videos and we hope you'll join our adventures by subscribing.

We call one of their sounds a yodel but as I’m sure you now know, it’s not like a human yodel. 😁 I hope you’ll check out some of our other videos too. The Basenji is a really great dog!

Wow! 19! That’s amazing! If you would like to have her featured on our channel we’d love to share her story. If you’re interested please send us an email. 😊

⁠@@BasenjiAdventuresi never saw this comment amd i deeply apologize but i think its a little late now..she recently passed at 20. march 31 but shes forever in my heart❤

Aww, so sorry for your loss. 😔 But she did live a very long life! We’d still love to share her with our followers, and honor her memory, if you’d like to send some pictures.

I haven't heard of that one. What is it?

​@@BasenjiAdventures moist critical did a dog food tier list and there was a trivia question asking what dog breed doesn't bark and the basenji was the answer so people looked it up ( INCLUDING ME ) to see what they should like hahaha 😂😭

Ginger does say hello in this one. Amazing Dog Says HELLO! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fqmchcaqv76WiYU.html

Which video is it? We want to see it. 😁

Thanks for watching, Michele! So glad you enjoy our videos. 😊

Well, i’m glad you found us. 😁 The Basenji is an amazing dog breed. 🐕🐕

Good morning and happy Monday. 😊 Yes, the Basenji’s vocal cords are different and that is what prevents them from barking. 😀🐕🐕🐾🐾

Yes 😂

Lmao !!

Glad you enjoyed it! 😁🐕🐕

Quite a few people. Welcome to the wonderful world of the barkless dog! 😁

The bars thoooo 😅

Hi 👋 Welcome to our channel. 😁🐕🐕

@@BasenjiAdventures Thank you for having this channel, & for taking the time to share these great videos & information 😁

That definitely sounds like an interesting mix. So awesome that you rescued! 😄

Aww. What’s his name? 😄

Max! ❤

Love it! Send us a picture and we’ll feature him on our channel. 😄

Glad it was helpful. They're an amazing breed. Check out some of our other videos if you want to see more. 😁

We've definitely experienced both the talkative type and the quiet type as you can see from the video. So glad you enjoyed it! Hope you'll enjoy some of our other videos as well. 😁🐕🐕

Yes, Ginger had an amazing voice. She even said “I love you“. 😊🐕🐕🐾🐾

You’re welcome. We invite you check out more of our videos to get to know this amazing breed!

Ginger had a warning/startle bark. It was hilarious. If someone knocked on our door sometimes it would startle her and we’d get one loud bark. 😂

Glad you found it useful! 😁

They are a very unique breed. :-)

Aww. So sorry that brought back memories. 😔 I’ll bet she was a sweet dog.

Nice! Glad you enjoy them! 😁

Actually, here is the oldest video, from 11 years ago. 😊 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o9CinLyY1pmzc4E.html

Glad you enjoyed it!😁

I wonder why he didn’t like her…

Do you have any idea why??

Hmm… No idea. 🤷🏽‍♂️

That’s funny. Is he a pure Basenji? I have met one pure Basenji that barked so it is possible, but often times it’s because they’re a mix. 🤗

@@BasenjiAdventures He is 100% Basenji. I do have a doggy daycare, so at any given time he's around 10 dogs that bark throughout the day. Maybe he's just mimicking what he hears?

Could be that. The one I met that barked was somehow more "African". I don't recall the specifics, but probably bred from a line out of Africa or something like that. Maybe that's the case with yours?

You are welcome 😊

It is a great breed! Definitely not for everyone, because they’re high energy and need a lot of walks and/or playtime, but they are highly intelligent and very catlike, so for the right person, they are a great dog to have! 😊

Ginger never disappointed in that area! 😁

So true. We love sharing the Basenji breed on our channel. 😁

@@BasenjiAdventures thank you 👍 it's still quite a rare breed in France, perhaps because quite special but I like their wild look. I remember having seen quite a few stray dogs looking like Basenji in Ivory Coast villages during a trip to Africa years ago. I wouldn't be suprised if they were true Basenjis..

They are pretty rare here too. We encounter many people who have never heard of the breed. Those dogs you saw in Africa were likely Basenjis or at least in part. That would be a cool experience to see many like that.

@@BasenjiAdventures yes, the breed is not quite known, neither are its characteristics. Yes I wondered about those Basenjis looking dogs, probably local dogs. Basenji is typical of these kinds of dogs you see in villages in Africa. I was also amazed to see in Southern Egypt villages some kinds of grey/blue hounds, skinny with long legs so pretty but covered with flee!

Sounds like another interesting breed.

You’re welcome. 😊

That’s funny! What did your neighbor say to your response? I’m guessing the look on her face was priceless. 🤣

@@BasenjiAdventures , my neighbor was very relieved, but sort of thought we were crazy to have such dogs. Right, priceless. Lol

Ginger and Graham were vocal, but as I showed at the end, our current two, Zinga and Zulu aren't, so they may still be a great breed for you. :o)

@@BasenjiAdventures that’s awesome. Thank you for responding. ❤️ Do you know how frequent it is that they howl/yodel?

It totally depends on the dog. We had Ginger and Graham, who both made noise, but when we got Zinga and Zulu we discovered that they were quiet. I don’t think they make the barooing sound for no reason at all. With Ginger and Graham it was mostly when we encouraged it, or they were extremely excited. But that’s the only reference point I have, so you’ll probably want to ask other Basenji owners what their experience has been. 😊

It’s quite a unique breed. 😁

Yeah. Ginger had quite the set of pipes on her! 🤣
