Basenji Dog Breed Information
The Basenji is a unique and ancient breed from Central Africa, known as the 'barkless dog' because they produce a unique yodel-like sound called a 'baroo'. They are clean, cat-like dogs that groom themselves meticulously. Basenjis are independent, intelligent, and full of curiosity. Their short coat, lack of doggy odor, and quiet nature make them excellent apartment dogs for the right owner.
