Dog Breed: BASENJI

View Basenji Sculpture and Basenji Bust Sculpture

The Basenji is a small, short haired hunting dog from Africa. It is short backed and lightly built, appearing high on the leg compared to its length. The wrinkled head is proudly carried on a well arched neck and the tail is set high and curled. Elegant and graceful, the whole demeanor is one of poise and inquiring alertness. The balanced structure and the smooth musculature enables it to move with ease and agility. The Basenji hunts by both sight and scent. The Basenji should not bark but is not mute. The wrinkled forehead, tightly curled tail and swift, effortless gait (resembling a racehorse trotting full out) are typical of the breed.

Size:
Ideal height for dogs is 17 inches and bitches 16 inches. Dogs 17 inches and bitches 16 inches from front of chest to point of buttocks. Approximate weight for dogs, 24 pounds and bitches, 22 pounds. Lightly built within this height to weight ratio.

Coat Type:
Coat short and fine. Skin very pliant.

Temperament:
An intelligent, independent, but affectionate and alert breed. Can be aloof with strangers.

Special Interest:
The Basenji was developed in Africa for hunting. In 1943, the AKC accepted the Basenji for registration in the Stud Book, and approved the standard. The Basenji does not bark but does make yodeling noises. The Basenji is known as the "barkless dog." To own a Basenji successfully requires commitment in time, effort, and understanding.
