The Basenji dog breed, which originated in Africa, was born in the Congo. Originally, it was used to lure animals into nets for hunting. To hunt, these dogs use both their senses of scent and sight. These days, they also make fantastic living furry family members. Are you thinking about getting a Basenji puppy? The top ten facts about the Basenji are revealed in this video. So you can see if this dog is the right fit for you.
In the list of the top 10 facts about the Basenji at number 10, we have: "The oldest domesticated dog breed". Because the Basenji is one of the earliest domesticated dog breeds, he may not bark during hunts. People in the past may have desired a peaceful dog. Like his wild cousin, the wolf, the Basenji will bark once before going silent. It's also conceivable he's only partially tamed. Some African tribes regarded a good hunting Basenji as more valuable than a wife, not only for his hunting ability, but also for his resourcefulness and ingenuity.
Next on the list. At number 9 we have: "Living with the Basenji needs patience." Patience and a sense of humor are required when living with a Basenji. Whatever is within his reach, he will chew up or consume. He is capable of establishing a strategy to accomplish his goals. It doesn't matter if it's getting up on the kitchen counter or breaking into the pantry to grab the dog biscuits. He can be aloof around people, so don't trust him with cats or other small animals unless he was raised with them and you know he knows them as family. However, the recognition would not extend to cats or small animals he encounters outside. They are up for grabs.
Next on the list at number 8 we have: "The Basenji is a sight hound." The Basenji is a smart, self-sufficient dog that is also affectionate and alert. He is a sight hound, which means anything moving attracts his interest and he will chase it. Rabbits, squirrels, and cats. He isn't the type of dog who obeys commands right away. He'll have to think about them and decide if he really wants to do what you've asked.
Next on the list. At 7, we have: "Skilled thief." The Basenji, being a hunting dog, requires daily activity. Some Basenjis can get by with only a daily straw, while others require more rigorous activity. He is not a dog who should be left alone in the backyard. He is an expert thief, and an unsupervised Basenji can easily become a lost Basenji. If you give him a couple of 30-minute walks or play sessions every day, he'll be OK in an apartment or condo.
Next on the list. At number 6, we have: "The Basenji needs training and socialization." From an early age, Basenji puppies must be socialized and taught. They will become shy, just like any other dog, if they are not properly socialized and introduced to a range of people, sights, sounds, and experiences when they are young. It is a good idea to enroll your younger Basenji in a puppy kindergarten program to guarantee that your Basenji puppy develops into a well-balanced adult dog. Bringing friends over on a regular basis, as well as introducing your Basenji to crowded parks, dog-friendly shops, and leisurely strolls to meet neighbors, will help him enhance his social skills.
Next on the list. At number 5 we have: "Basenjis are susceptible to some health issues." Although all breeds are susceptible to various health difficulties, Basenjis are relatively safe. Find a good breeder who can show you health clearances for both your puppy's parents if you're considering getting one. When purchasing a puppy, health clearances show that the dog has been tested for and cleared of a certain disease.
Next on the list. At number four we have: "Basenjis fear rain." Always keep your Basenji on a leash and don't rely on a fence to keep him contained unless you're in a secure gated area. A chain link fence will serve as a ladder, while a wood fence will just serve as a deterrent. Another feline trade is the Basenji's dislike of rain. He will be grumpy if you take him for a stroll while it is raining. He would only want to get wet on an extremely hot day.
