This always makes laugh because when they say barkless dogs, they don't mean quite dogs. It just means they don't bark like a normal type of bark that most other dogs do, they yodel and howl like in this video.
This is AWESOME!!!! I only have one that is a mixed breed but she sounds the exact same way when I get her going! So cool to see and hear so many in unison at once! Thank you so much for sharing!
I had an on call pager (yes I am that old) with my second Basenji. He would grab it off the night stand and stuff it in the couch if it went off at night because he knew I would have to leave him to answer the call. Try explaining that to your boss.
god i love they way they allllmost stop, and then one persistent yark sends them all into a fresh chorus of totally unnecessary but socially satisfying noise. bless them, honestly.
How wonderful! I wish my 3 B's would sing like this!!! I wonder what would happen if your cel-phone ring WAS the basenji's howling?!?! ;) *** What I love is that the one on the lower left looks like he/she is only doing it because the others are and would rather be doing something else!
Actually they only do this when my cell goes off and with certain music, tones or singing. We cannot leave HGTV on while gone because the theme song of Divine Design really gets them going and they love the echo in the stairwell! So we let them watch c-span.Its pretty low key. They are very quiet normally and of course they are barkless.
Colleen, you are a saint. Although they are cute as slices of pie, and I love dogs, each of those cuties would have a sock in his mouth. I said it before and I'll say it again, God made special people for special animals. God bless you.
This is one of my favorite dog videos on TH-cam. I get such a kick out of it. I have two shibas and an Alaskan malamute. Pondering getting a basenji in the future. From the research I've done they seem to be very similar in temperament to shibas. Look forward to seeing more videos of your pups!
When raising them as a kid we had basenji's that howled and yodeled like that and sometimes the police came by cause of a report from neighbors that they thought kids were being beat.
I had that happen to me once with my first Basenji. I was clipping his nails and he was crying like a baby. Next thing I knew I had a cop at the door. Took him to a groomer after that one.
Just be prepared to spend a lot of extra time working with it and learn to have a lot of patience. And of the two we've had, neither got along with our other dogs.
SO FUNNY INDEED!!! lol..!! my best friend owns a female basenji, she's the cutest thing, but very elusive, kind of growls at me for some unknown reason, I can't resist her cute face...she's chewed every piece of wood furniture at my friends house!!! she has the sharpest teeth...soooo adorable I would love to own one...but I know I'll go crazy...
I have a mutt who appears to be a basenji / chihuahua mix (which I call a "bahuahua", pronounced "bawawa".) Fortunately she can bark and does not do this, but when she's excited and wants to play, she does let out some earsplitting yaps that are influenced by this type of vocalizing.
@EuroStatus1985 I hope all worked out with getting your puppy! They take time and patience and love. They act like toddlers but are also wonderful. Hope yours worked out! And no they only howl at certain music, tones and if they hear us outside they sometimes think its cute to get in the stairway and howl!
@chasingamy21 Please find a reputable breeder. Also BRAT (basenji rescue and transport) places basenji's for adoption. Check out the Basenji Club of America if you are looking for a reputable breeder and do not get one in a pet store!
Haha and I thought mine two senjis were loud. Mom used to wait with me at the bus stop when I was a kid and once we'd go out and wait at the stop, the howling would commence! Could hear it across the street!
Ohh my goosh dont u have to laugh the whole day?! hahahaha I cant stop laughing about my two basenjis and u got 5 ?!?!?!?!?! hahahahaha Stupid dooggies hahahahahaa Love them!!!
Neighbors gotta love them

Choir practice
This would make a great alarm clock. I'd never oversleep again.
We had a Basenji growing up. A great breed of dog which is often overlooked. Thanks for the video!
This is AWESOME!!!! I only have one that is a mixed breed but she sounds the exact same way when I get her going! So cool to see and hear so many in unison at once! Thank you so much for sharing!
And they call Basenji the "most silent" dogs... XD
except when they hear a phone apparently.
This vid was 10 friggn years ago yet I still watch this
I've wanted one of these for years... can't wait! One day!
Haha, brilliant! I love your puppies! My basenjis sing to Beethoven and when I play the tenor saxophone, but they don't sing to anything digital.

Wow,5 of them must keep you busy! We have 3 and they can get pretty crazy. Love 'em!!!!
I guess they're saying: "The phone the phone! It's ringing!" LOL They're too funny!
Hilarious! What beautiful dogs!
Sooo cute.
five basenjis screaming=decrease in property value
god i love they way they allllmost stop, and then one persistent yark sends them all into a fresh chorus of totally unnecessary but socially satisfying noise.
bless them, honestly.

What I love is that the one on the lower left looks like he/she is only doing it because the others are and would rather be doing something else!
they also howl when you go out for a long time and they want to let you know they missed you
Oh my god!!! That's so cute...what a handful! It's like a little pack!
I show this video to anyone that says 'Oh, they are the ones than can't bark?' and then I say 'Oh, but they are in no way silent'. I love this video!

We have a Basenji and have been trying to figure out how to get her to howl on cue...we may have just found it! Great vid...thanks for sharing. : )
I've had a basenji mix since I was 10. She makes these noises and she can bark. Yay for me, I got the best of both. Haha, I love her anyway.
Colleen, you are a saint. Although they are cute as slices of pie, and I love dogs, each of those cuties would have a sock in his mouth. I said it before and I'll say it again, God made special people for special animals. God bless you.
How do you ever ANSWER the phone and talk with all this noise?
we have got a teacher's choir at our school, but this basenjis are sounding much better
i envy, and bow to you, for having so many basenji babies; you are in good company...i have 1 basenji, a cat and 2 gerbils
They look like they're having fun!
they may be barkless but they sure aren't quiet lol:) how funny!!
awesome pups had one growing up would love another

A basenji choir! I love it!
HAHA My Basenji is howling with this video lol. He thinks hes part of the choir!
When raising them as a kid we had basenji's that howled and yodeled like that and sometimes the police came by cause of a report from neighbors that they thought kids were being beat.
I had that happen to me once with my first Basenji. I was clipping his nails and he was crying like a baby. Next thing I knew I had a cop at the door. Took him to a groomer after that one.
It's so funny how the one in the pink collar is just going "Aaahh, Aaah, Aaah, Aaah, Aaah"
That awkward moment when your trying to sleep and someone calls you
Only when basenji's are together do they yodel like that usually, I had one for 13 years and never did he yodel without his family.
OMG YOU HAVE SO MANY DOGS!!! LOL
OMG, we have just one basenji and he's a handful!!
must be amazing when the sunday morning missionaries come and ring the bell at 8 am
Oh gosh for some reason I always laugh when they all lift their heads up at around 0:16 XD Adorable dogs!
In West Texas, I would identify this as a pack of Coyotes singing right after sunset. Very stunning set of yodelers you got there...
I saw this clip years ago then I was watching animal planet and I saw this clip. Congrats
they'll be a handful to play with especially with a plastic bone from the vets.
i had a nice strong male one back in Nigeria....best dog ever
i have a basenji mix. i love her! she is very loyal!
I wonder what the neighbors were thinking
LOL @ 0:55 -- that dude is SERIOUS!
Just be prepared to spend a lot of extra time working with it and learn to have a lot of patience. And of the two we've had, neither got along with our other dogs.
Thank you! My basenji hardly says a word!
I would totally let them answer my phone for me.
SO FUNNY INDEED!!! lol..!! my best friend owns a female basenji, she's the cutest thing, but very elusive, kind of growls at me for some unknown reason, I can't resist her cute face...she's chewed every piece of wood furniture at my friends house!!! she has the sharpest teeth...soooo adorable I would love to own one...but I know I'll go crazy...
My basenji has allmost same reaction when my cell phone rings xD
Well, you certainly won't miss any calls this way!

GEEZUS! That shit would drive me nuts.
lol you have your own Basenji choir
Yes, we are working on that issue! Too many treats!
This is AWESOME! :-D One basenji was enough for us when we had him!
@EuroStatus1985 I hope all worked out with getting your puppy!
They take time and patience and love. They act like toddlers but are also wonderful. Hope yours worked out! And no they only howl at certain music, tones and if they hear us outside they sometimes think its cute to get in the stairway and howl!
@EuroStatus1985 YES especially in the morning.
This is very interesting pack behavior
This is so cute
HEALTHY BASENJIS!
a group of musicians
OMG LOL!!!!!!
I guess you will know when you have a phone call...
they are so best :DD
My two basenjis went along with it
O. M. G. This is toooo cute, though I don't know how you have any furniture left with five senj's!!
hahahahahahah, that is the funniest thing i have ever seen.
@chasingamy21 Please find a reputable breeder. Also BRAT (basenji rescue and transport) places basenji's for adoption. Check out the Basenji Club of America if you are looking for a reputable breeder and do not get one in a pet store!
OMG the noise!
so cute, i have a basinji mix named khloe
I've noticed that basenjis love to have howling sessions together.
It sounds like the coyote pack near my house at night! Haha!
i had two basenji's at one point.. now just my female. But 5?
mother.of.god.
Haha and I thought mine two senjis were loud. Mom used to wait with me at the bus stop when I was a kid and once we'd go out and wait at the stop, the howling would commence! Could hear it across the street!

I have a basenji. She's very silent.
I guess it's better to set your phone to silent mode...
I wonder what will happen if you'll show them this record?
yeah they are they are smart it is just that they are not the kind that want to please u, like other dogs
Lol, Basenjis can b too silent. My Basenji isn’t very vocal but sure is meschiv prone. Never a dull moment around here 😂😂❤❤🎉🎉
I have a Basenji mix!
AND I MIGHT BE GETTING ONE OF THOSE XD
mass hysteria
Haha I saw this video on Bad Dog today. XDDD
hello! I'm looking to get a Basenji! how did you get five? do you breed? i'm in tx.
No they dont. Some are a lot quieter than others. Mine is VERY quiet.
