I hate barking too. Actually, there are lines of basenjis that are silent. My foundation female (the original Zinnia) is silent. I tried to train her to yodel and the most she could produce was a little mew. She has produced about 50/50 silent vs. yodellers and it depends on how the sires vocalize. So if you ever go looking for a basenji, ask the breeder if their line is very vocal or if it is fairly quiet.
