yeah he weights about 25 to 30 pounds and they were bread not to bark. He will try to howl at you if you ignore him but that is the only sound he makes

Basenjis are generally quiet dogs and do not bark. They do produce a wide variety of other vocalizations including yodels, crows, chortles, howls, growls, and some which are simply beyond description. Each dog has it's own repertoire and it is rare to find two that sound alike. Other Basenjis are very quiet. They usually make these sounds when they are happy.

I didn't know they didn't bark, thats pretty cool.
