Fences lower than 6 feet have kept supervised Singers confined for daily exercise, but only if an electric wire is installed at the top. Young Singers can also squeeze their entire bodies through any space wide enough to admit their heads. A year old Singer curiously checks out a cat in the window. Even at a young age they are extremely agile and can jump very high. Back to Top 10.
Singers are about average at learning to eliminate outside or on a designated indoor area.
Under three months of age they have little voluntary control over their bladders, but even at 6 weeks of age they will go through a dog door to have bowel movements. If the owner is alert, consistent and keeps the puppy on a routine for feeding and exercise, most Singer puppies are fairly well house trained in about four weeks. Having a dog door out to a Singer-proof secured area greatly facilitates housetraining. Back to Top 11. Like wild canids and the Basenji breed, Singers have one breeding season a year.
