Which dog can’t bark?
The Basenji or Africa’s “Barkless Dog” is a unique breed and contender for the title of oldest AKC breed. While it’s true the Basenji doesn’t bark, when they express themselves they make a unique sound that is something between a chortle and a yodel. The basenji is literally known as the barkless dog because they make so little noise, but the breed’s not completely mute. When they do decide to speak up, the hounds make odd noises that sound similar to yodels.The Basenji, often referred to as the “barkless dog,” is the only breed of dog that is unable to bark in the traditional sense. This small to medium-sized breed communicates through a range of unique sounds different from the conventional dog bark.
