About the Basenji The Basenji is a breed of dog that is in the sighthound family. The basenji is a Congolese hunting dog that rarely, (if ever) barks, but does have an odd yodelling sound. Basenjis are small, elegant-looking, short-haired dogs with erect ears, tightly curled tail, and graceful neck. These dogs have a strong dislike for water and will go to great lengths to avoid getting wet. They are highly intelligent and learn quickly but they are also independent and self-motivated. They are mischievous and good humored. Basenjis can become bored and destructive when alone. They are great climbers and can scale chain-link fences as high as 8 feet. They like to run and chase and are good with chidlren only if they are raised around them. One of the most ancient dog breeds. Originating on the continent of Africa, it has been venerated by humans for thousands of years. Basenjis can be seen on steles in the tombs of Egyptian pharaohs, sitting at the feet of their masters, looking just as they do today, with prick ears and tightly curled tail. Several attempts were made to bring the breed to England, but the earliest imports succumbed to disease. It was not until the 1930s that foundation stock was successfully established in England, and thence to the United States. They can be susceptible to an inheritable kidney disorder.
