Basenji is a word that means something like “small wild animal from the bush” when translated into English. The Basenji is a member of the Pariah dog family, which includes primitive dogs that lived close to humans but were not fed or cared for. It demonstrates that these dogs are self-sufficient and independent.
The Basenji’s history and origins:
The origins of the dog breed can be traced to Central Africa. The Basenji, commonly known as the African Bush Dog or Congo Dog, is one of the FCI’s oldest recognized breeds. The breed, however, remains largely unknown. It’s difficult to pinpoint the exact origin of the dog breed, however it’s thought to have originated in Egypt. Drawings of this breed of dog have also been discovered inside Egyptian pyramids. In 1870, British researchers in Central Africa discovered the Basenji for the first time. They have been bred as domestic dogs since 1930. Original Basenjis are still used by pygmies in the Central African jungle to help them drive animals into outstretched nets for capture.
The Basenji’s appearance:
According to the F.C.I., males should stand around 43 cm tall, while females should be around 40 cm. The weight ranges from 10 to 12 kilograms. The Basenji lives for 12 to 15 years on average. Their coats are short, dense, fine, and lustrous, and the FCI has authorized the colors black and white, red, brown, white, tan white, solid black, tan, white with tan markings above the eyes, and tan, white with tan markings above the eyes. Basenjis are thin dogs but with a lot of muscle, and they are very athletic.
The Basenji’s nature and personality:
The Basenjis are intelligent and self-reliant. Their distinctive bark is a hybrid of a yodel and howling that is reminiscent of wolf howling.
When the dogs are in their natural surroundings, they are very clean, almost like cats, and have no odor.
Basenjis are calm and balanced, yet they are also incredibly alert and move quickly when distracted.
Basenji training is difficult and should only be attempted by experienced dog handlers. Because they are stubborn, it is critical to establish clear standards, maintain consistency, and show them who is in authority. When it comes to strangers, they are rather reserved.
Basenji’s Exercise and Grooming:
The dogs have a natural hunting instinct as well as a high demand for daily activity and challenges. Basenjis are tough, healthy dogs who are only impacted by genetic disorders such urinary tract infections or gastrointestinal difficulties on rare occasions. Brushing isn’t necessary because basenjis lose almost no hair. Allergy sufferers will like the dog. In the winter, owners should keep in mind that Basenjis are quite sensitive to the cold and should wear an extra coat.

Best dogs ever!
Nope Basenji comes from the word Basenzi witch means Wild/Savage in Lingala. They're called mbwa ya basenzi wild dog or savage's dog.
Yesterday my mom said that I’m gonna getting one and I’m soooooo excited because in 2 months I will have my basenji and I name it Malaika that means in suahili (language of Congo) angel.
We adopted a male from someone who couldn’t take care of him – college student who had to keep him in a crate all day in an apartment – she said he was a shepherd mix – I didn’t know any better and he was friendly so we took him home. He had been in and out of shelters for his entire first year (poor guy) so he had MAJOR separation anxiety immediately – couldn’t walk out of his site without him whining a lot And we have cats – we literally had to keep him on a leash in the house until we had a trainer come to our house – she broke him of chasing them very quickly – we thought he was just really hyper and had no idea what breed he was – I read that these dogs are either readily recognized or people have no idea what they are. He LOVES his winter jacket and needs to stay warm – it’s la security blanket and calms him down – we thought he would hate it! He loves rolling in tall weeds and grass and digs his feet proudly after every bush he marks. I walk him twice a day and he’s still hyper. I do little things to make him “think” – I grab a treat, turn my back, circle my hands in a big motion, turn around and have him pick which hand has the treat – he gets SO excited he goes up on his hind legs. Always know when we pass a male dog on the walk because he gets growly.
Thank you this helped
Haha. Love watching things about my dogs! I have 22 basenjis who run this house. They have a mindset like they are dominant, then they get their asses kicked by another dog. And it really depends on the breeders dogs on their shedding and scent. Some have longer hair meaning its harder for them to clean and that also means the dog can clean it or take out the dead hair making more hair die and soon every clean thing will have a hair on it. Even your washed clothes. They do learn how to bark. By starting a howl/baroo (what we basenji people call it) the stopping shortly after. If you do not socialize as a puppy or dog dog show like i do, they become attached to one person and with be very dog aggressive. (All my dogs have a buddy or is alone due to being well…. basenjis) And the age can go up to 20 years old. Like the video said, they rarely have any health problems, if bred right and properly cared for, this is true! I have many scars from basenjis trying to be dominant, they get it in the end. They arent just sensitive to the cold! They are like little baby girls, they will pout 😡 and shout, and do anything for well… anything. There origin is in Africa they were used to chase small game onto a net, they wore cow bells to be easily found, and they only major differences is the tail and weight of the original dog and domesticated dog. And their size. It is 20 INCHES NOT CENTIMETERS! For Gods sake, a chihuahua is like that! Amyways hope this helps new owners and if any old owners can agree, leave a like or comment!
I trained one at the age of 12, its all in work you put in, and he was sweet as well.
Inaccurate information.
They are not independent if they have the correct owner who understands them! But we Basenji Breeders here in Australia interview every buyer and a high % of them fail the interview and don’t get one. We care for our Basenjis here and their well-being
It originated in THE CONGO!! Fool! Egyptian armies a few thousand years ago went to war with countries in central Africa and found these beautiful dogs very cat like which they are. No dog odour no barking they were taken back to Egypt and became Palace dogs. I suggest you do more study into our breed before installing your info video on YouTube!!! Inaccurate in many ways!
Training Basenjis what a lot of rubbish. Talk to your reeder they will tell you a lot!
You do have to brunch Basenjis coming out of winter they do shed a little
