About The Breed

The Basenji is a small to medium-sized dog known for its unique characteristics, including its sleek, short coat and distinctive "baroo" bark, often described as yodeling. Originally bred in Central Africa for hunting, the Basenji is highly independent, intelligent, and energetic. Known for being clean and cat-like in its grooming habits, this breed is quiet, dignified, and alert but can also be quite playful and affectionate with its family. Due to its strong prey drive, the Basenji may not be reliable off-leash around small animals. It requires regular exercise, mental stimulation, and a secure yard to run and explore. The Basenji’s short coat is low-maintenance, but it does need early socialization and training due to its independent nature.
