The Basenji is an energetic hound known for its unique yodel bark and cat-like grooming habits.
With a graceful, gazelle-like appearance, Basenjis have a wrinkled forehead, erect ears and tightly curled tail. Their short, fine coat comes in colors like red, black, and brindle.
Originally from Africa, Basenjis hunt by sight and scent. They are athletic, independent dogs that need plenty of exercise. Basenjis are clever but not easy to train.
Noiseless indoors, Basenjis do “yodel” outside instead of barking. They groom themselves like cats and do not have a dog odor.
Ideal for active, experienced owners, Basenjis bond closely with their families. Their lively and curious nature makes them entertaining companions.
