We had 2 Basenji's when I was a kid, at 2 different times. They are awesome dogs! Except when they bolt out of the house! lol

My current dog plays with 2 Basenji's every weekend. I miss the yodelling the most!!!

OHH i know exactly what your talkin about i just had Phoenix do that a few days ago He almost gave me a heart attack

Now i put up a baby gate in the front door until he learns to listen and wait alittle he's getting better but it's going to be LOTS of work

Denver went through that too but he learned pretty quick and was great after a few days
Although the breed is very stuborn i LOVE this breed i think there so much diffent from others and i love there little attutude that they get

Sometimes i'm kickin myself when he pushes me to the brink but he makes me laugh so i'm laughing more then i'm kickin myself so i think that's a good trade off

Oh, they make you laugh that's for sure. And, they have very good memories too!

The Basenji we had the longest was Congo. What a character she was. I was always the one the could really get her yodelling like crazy. Whenever I would come home from school, she would start yodelling. One time, our neighbour was having the outside of their house painted. Apparently, when I came home and Congo started yodelling, the painter nearly fell off his ladder, haha!!
