Basenji

Three Basenji dogs in autumn

“The Basenji is a fascinating breed with a rich history and unique characteristics. Originating from Central Africa, this breed is often referred to as the ‘Barkless Dog’ due to its unique vocalizations, which include yodels and other sounds instead of barking. Known for their independent and curious nature, Basenjis are intelligent and agile dogs with a keen sense of smell and sight. They have a distinct appearance with a finely chiseled head, athletic body, and short, glossy coat in various colors. Basenjis are loyal and affectionate companions, although they can be reserved around strangers. Their clean and grooming habits, along with their strong prey drive and playful demeanor, make them a fascinating and unique breed for experienced dog owners.”
