Basenji is an animal that came to us from the very heart of the African continent. The breed was formed without any human intervention. All character traits, demeanor, the ability to think quickly, natural ingenuity, and even love and affection for humans typical for other dogs are the result of natural selection, and not any selection experiments. This is the main value of the Basenji, and one must learn to accept, understand and love this creature the way nature created it. An amazing dog is still very rare in our area, but the popularity of the breed is constantly growing.

These dogs use both scent and sight to hunt and were originally used to flush small game into hunters’ nets and to control village rodent populations.

The Basenji is known for not barking, but that doesn’t mean he’s silent. His vocalizations range from a delightful yodel to a hair-raising scream, as well as the usual growls, whimpers, and whines made by all dogs

If you’d like to take up an activity with your dog, Basenjis are aces at the sport of lure coursing, the perfect game for these dogs who hunt by sight and love to chase.
