The "barkless dog of Africa", the Basenji comes to America via the jungles of the Congo. Unique not only for his yodel-like voice, this affectionate and aristocratic canine possesses the grace and cleanliness of a feline, the hunting instincts of a terrier, the speed of a greyhound and the smarts and naughtiness of a typical teenager. As a family dog, companion, weekend sports dog and show dog, the Basenji is a delightful choice for the experienced, patient owner, willing to devote the necessary time to raise and train this sensitive, independent canine.
