 | Basenji Dog Facts: Bite without a Bark
The Basenji dog breed doesn't bark like other dogs. Why this breed doesn't bark remains a mystery. Some believe it's due to a physiological difference from other breeds while others believe Basenjis might have been trained by people not to bark many years ago, and this characteristic was passed down throughout future generations of the breed.
Basenjis do growl, but it's a very distinct growl. They bark, but usually only once instead of repeatedly. The bark sounds more like a squeal or screech than a bark. The unusual sounds are made because its larynx is in a different location than that of other breeds. Their unusual bark can be very noisy!
