Do Basenjis bark?

No, Basenjis do not bark like other dogs. They are often referred to as “barkless dogs,” but they are not completely silent — Basenjis make noise when excited, anxious, or alerting their people to something unusual. Basenjis use unique vocalizations, which can include yodeling, whining, howling, screaming, and growling. These unusual sounds can be quite expressive and can vary depending on the situation and the dog’s mood.
