Basenji or African non-barking dog is one of the oldest dog breeds.
In ancient Egypt, these dogs were brought as a gift to the pharaohs, who greatly revered the basenji and considered them a living amulet. This is evidenced by the wall images of the basenji in the tombs of the pharaohs, as well as the found mummies of dogs buried with honors along with their great masters.
• ideal height at the withers - males 43 cm, females 40 cm.
• ideal weight - males 11 kg, females 9.5 kg.
Color: There are 4 basenji colors:
• red with white;
• saturated black with white;
• tricolor (rich black with red-red tan, with markings above the eyes, on the muzzle and cheekbones);
• brindle (black stripes on a reddish-brown background).
With all colors - white paws, chest and tail tip. White legs, head marking and collar are optional. White color should never prevail over the main color. Color and markings should be rich in color, crisp, well formed, with a clear border between black and tan in tricolors and stripes in brindles.
Litters of the Basenji are not numerous, on average 4-5 puppies are born.
For many centuries, Basenji dogs have lived in Africa as pack animals, therefore they perceive the family as a pack and only feel comfortable in a pack, so small puppies, up to six months old, hardly take root with owners who work all day and come home only in the evening.
Puppies alone are scared, sad, they begin to howl, calling for help from their mother or other members of the pack. After all, in the jungle, if you are left alone, then you have been lost. You howled, asking for help, the members of the pack did not come, but predators can hear you and eat you.

I adopted my basenji from a rescue dog kennel. She was very young and had been removed from a family by child welfare for chewing a baby's fingers. I had no idea what I was in for. She was very stubborn, however extremely intelligent. I became a falconer at 12 when I found an injured red-tailed hawk in the road and later, I adopted a wolf malamute hybrid. If you want to know what an animal needs, they will let you know, if you are patient enough to learn. Once, while walking my basenji, we came upon a lost basenji stray. Both dogs took to each other as if they were old friends. My basenji had never liked other dog breeds. I managed to capture the dog and took him to my vet to check for a chip. We contacted the owner and she said she did not want him back, so I had two wonderful basenjis.

[@floormaestro9581]

This commentary is garbage. I own a basenji and he is loyal and protective of me and would pass up treats or any food to follow me around and see what I’m doing. His name is Titan and except for when walking down a street with cars he’s never on a leash. He love’s running through the woods but never runs out of sight and comes right back immediately when called. This video makes basenjis sound like narcissistic dogs that could care less about there owners and that couldn’t be further from the truth. I slipped on ice the other day and Titan came flying to me licking my face to make sure I was ok. They are allot of work yes but you will be rewarded in kind with the love and affection this breed has for its family.

[@natashab3412]

I met on today at the park. Just for that one hour. I saw traits your speaking of

[@markkillick4925]

Thank you my Basenjis are incredibly protective and wouldn't take food from any stranger

[@angelinacamacho8575]

my besenji mix is wary of strangers and even though his recall can be hit or miss and i seldomly allow him off leash because of that he usually tends to just stick around me anyway. he also hates it when people randomly try to pet him due to his cuteness.

[@teafra3616]

My basenjis didn't even raise an eye brow when I fell, but washed my feet thoroughly every evening so your's is a unusual basenji or you two have an unusually bond. And they prayed on everything so it was very dangerous to have them of lease if there were cars, bikes or trains near. In the woods it was fine, they usually run in circles and appears every now and then, but would go to the person that had the food. Typically basenjis. I have 26 years of experience with basenjis.

[@floormaestro9581]

@@teafra3616 yes me and my basenji Titan are very close, I am definitely his human out of a house of 6 people. But you are completely correct about not letting him off leash near planes, trains, and automobiles. To this day I always leash walk him down the street and into the woods and once deep enough I can safely cut him free. I used a “come to me “ method from a trainer online I forget the name but he is from California and used to train orca whales at sea world. He has a beautiful Doberman named Prince, I’m sure of you looked up a Prince and dog trainer you’d going him. His name might be a Beckham but don’t quote me on that. Anyways using his method when we’re getting closer to civilization again I call him lower my hand to the ground and praise him while he’s running back, I mean this dog has been chasing a squirrel and I call using this method and he turns on a dime and runs like a greyhound back to me , it’s quite remarkable. I can’t get him to obey much else but for some reason this one always works. But like you said when he’s on the street on his leash it’s like any concept of the danger a giant truck doing 45 mph by us poses doesn’t register with him. He lunges out towards the vehicles and I’m always scared the leash will break one day. And he’s not a dumb dog by any means it’s just that fear instinct when it comes to automobiles is absent. Especially motorcycles, this did hates motorcycles more than anything in the world. Funny little personalities these basenjis have, and they are a ton of work but Titan is also the greatest companion I’ve ever had. I had 2 beagles and a cat growing up and they were never as close to me as my basenji. I take him with me just about everywhere I go within reason, and I don’t think he’d have it any other way. Thanks for the reply. Happy New Year from Massachusetts

...Living with a B, never a dull moment...🧡😄

[@markkillick4925]

Hi my Basenjis need at least an hours walk every day One of them is incredibly protective not letting anyone near us at night so it depends on the dog they are my Best friends and great dogs for the right person

[@lauragilchrist7708]

I have been breeding them for 30 years now and this video is pretty accurate. I tell potential buyers most of this information.

[@rolomovement9811]

I think clarification is required where they sleep with owner under the blanket, he can destroy the sex life with the other significant other as they try to be near the act.

[@teafra3616]

I've had a female for 14 years and then a male for 12 years. The breed has changed and adapted very much through generations, but still think highest of themselves, they are not easily trained but easily bought with treats, are very cuddly and crave warmth from whomever as long as they get what they are after. Fun and mischievous, if they are understimulated. Soft, short and clean fur and no dog smell at all. Often tends to bond more with one human but cuddles with everyone. Is NOT a dog that you want to on the loose outside fenceless, and is often very dominant against new dogs of same sex if not extremely well socially trained at a young age. Love this breed, very unique. ❤❤❤

[@abj4u]

Really, Laura, so your B,s are stupid, like this video says. I will remember to never buy my dogs from you

[@marciacapell1541]

What a beautiful doggie 😂❤❤❤ I love their colors!

[@dennisyounkin644]

I had my 15 1/2 year old Shiba Inu pass away in January which he was an awesome incredible Dog. As much as I love Shiba’s with their look the shedding is horrendous, twice a year. I know Basenji’s are a lot like Shiba’s so when I’m ready to take on another Dog companion this is a breed I will be looking at…

[@KarinShah]

basenjis CAN bark, they just don’t very often (the few times I heard it were when my basenjis were startled). And they don’t retreat bark at all.

[@teresarenee3829]

I have a pitsenji, part pittie, part basenji....very smart, sweet, loving and protective...and STUBBORN.

[@pawbreed]

It's very good that you have a basenji...very smart, sweet, loving and caring...and RESILIENT. Still, be careful with him. We hope it stays that way forever! But if you have any questions, be sure to write and we will tell you in detail about it.

[@dirkweiss3991]

Great overview of the basenji characteristics that some folks might not be ready for. I live alone with my basenji, so he gets plenty of undivided attention, but I also leave him home while I'm at work--thus far, he seems very comfortable, even on the rare occasion when I leave him alone for 8-9 hours.

[@teafra3616]

Both one's that I had too, the female better than the male in my case though.

[@eaglet2000]

Very informative video. What does 'a few hours' walk every day' mean? How much walking, exercise and training are required every day? And what is the best type of exercise for a Basenji? Last question. How accurate is 'they cannot be alone at home'? Does this mean that a Basenji cannot be left alone in the house for three or four hours if it is trained from a young age?

[@pawbreed]

Thank you for your questions. Yes, the Basenji is indeed a very active breed that needs long walks. The bigger, the better. Of the exercises, our dog most of all likes to tug the rope with a toy. So she spends more energy and gets tired faster. "Basenji cannot be left alone in the house for three or four hours" is of course conditional. We taught our dog to be alone right away, but gradually. After a while, we can let her be alone with the cat. The cat is in control. Some of our acquaintances who have Basenji cannot leave their pets alone at home. As for training, we were lucky in this regard, she, although reluctantly, began to carry out some commands. Now we are not afraid to leave our dog for a few hours. Also, on a walk, we can let her run where she wants. But all this is due to the fact that we went to the training and taught her commands. But in any case, you need to be careful with it.

[@mst311]

don't start dasenji? what does that mean

[@nicolesherrod1145]

Okie

[@antalyawalk9715]

more negative factors than positive ones😥😥😥

[@pawbreed]

it depends on your preferences, possibilities and lifestyle

[@teafra3616]

Depends on how used you are to stubborn, self taught more primal breed of dogs. It is NOT a la labrador or poodle, but can be really fun to train with, if you have a good sense of humor and don't mind a few gray hairs on your head 😂😁

[@antalyasalerent7870]

thanks for a great video❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘

[@pawbreed]

Thanks for watching!

[@penelopefetsch4218]

Mainly true. I had the privilege since early 2000. I'm on my third and final...

[@jaimevazquezjr.89]

I wish I knew more about their diet. Not as healthy if you give them higher protein foods. They are not good for first time dog owners

[@CptZatoichi]

I think i know all the risks with this nightmare😂

[@stvbones123]

video is sometimes inaccurate

[@ncironhorse8367]

Good I hate these stupid generated voices - "Chazzing prey". SMH

[@marilynfox1415]

Why ai?

[@genericet1]

7:50 why you should have your dog on a leash. I had to stop taking my little dog places because people don't control their dog. "Oh, my dog is friendly", Well mine isn't so get yours away from me!

[@WilliamGone]

This dog has anxiety issue and destroys doors

[@abj4u]

What a load of crap! They are not difficult to train. They are definitely smarter than whomever made this video. “Not able to analyze the situation”, are you serious? video. You got everything wrong.

[@squirrelycritter]

Don't start the dasenji. Whatever you do. They are MAGNETICALLY ATTRACTED TO CARS. *cuts to violent beachside fight*

[@katzandkids]

Video would have been better with a human narrator. Hire a human.

[@LaurieSheridan-ry9ot]

WHY is this Basenji OFF LEAD?? - VERY unsafe for the breed. Who is filming this? If it's the owner - SHAME ON YOU.

[@Apricotsnake1107]

Not hypoallergenic

[@thecriticalnous]

Not a very accurate video

[@A.Melebeck]

Please explain...I have a 3 month old basenji pup.

[@eaglet2000]

I think that the video is quite accurate in stating the pros and cons. Please, can you elaborate on why this is not accurate? Your comments would be helpful to those considering of owning this breed in the future.

[@pawbreed]

I think it has more to do with video editing. But not for information.
