Anyone have a Basenji

[ludechopper]

here is a pic of my basenji just wondering if anyone else had any (I love mine cause they can't bark and everyone is always scared of him)

Awesome dogs too because they're a good size. How big do they get, 30lbs?

They dont bark? what is it genetic? Thats cool....

[ludechopper]

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.

how the hell do you train a dog not to bark?

I thought it was like some innate thing that makes them bark..

weird..

You don't. You breed them not to bark.

Awesome dog, though!

I have a Basenji/Doberman mix. She's 20 months and 40lbs and done growing. Shes perfect size. Shes only made a yipping sound about 5 times. Basenji's don't bark because they don't have vocal cords.. they make a noise some call yodeling.
