The
Basenji is a handsome, muscular dog, who is also known as the
African Barkless Dog. He should not bark, but is not mute. His
repertoire of sounds range from a pleasing throaty crow to a keening
wail made when he is lonely or unhappy. One of the oldest breeds of
dogs he is native to Africa where he is used to assist beaters in
flushing game which is then driven into nets strung up against
trees. His name means "wild and violent" in Swahili. The Basenji
will make a good pet as long as he is handled on a regular basis
from an early age.
