Little has changed in the thousands of years that their existence has been recorded. They remained solely an African dog until well into the 20th century, serving as hunters and prey drivers for their native masters. The first exports to England succumbed to vaccinations, and while a handful survived to establish the breed in the 1930s, the gene pool was severely limited, and the stud book only allowed to reopen in 1990.

A small breed that is typified by their boxlike structure, being as long as they are tall, the Basenji ranges in height from 16-17 inches and weighs 22-24 lbs. Their colors include brindle, black, red, and tricolor, all of which may be combined with the appropriate white pattern.
The hunting instinct of the dog remains strong, and needs to be redirected with appropriate training and activities.

Alert and intelligent, they make an excellent companion for older children and adults, but may not warm to strangers, or tolerate pursuit and excessive attention of toddlers. © DogDecor.com |
