Breed Highlights
Known as the "Barkless Dog," the Basenji is a poised and independent breed with a sleek, fine coat and an alert expression. This compact canine is full of energy and athleticism, perfect for families who enjoy activity but appreciate a quiet home. They are famously selective in their vocalizations, using unique sounds and requiring patient training. With a strong prey drive, early socialization is key for a well-rounded pet.
