So called dog experts always say Basenjis are one of the dumbest breeds, but they equate obedience with intelligence which are mutually exclusive traits. My Basenji was not stubborn or lazy and she was empathetic when I would retreat to my room after getting scolded by my parents, She came to comfort me. The look in her eyes was one of sadness and understanding. They get cold easily and do not like to be in the rain. She did not mind us when we told her to go home, especially when the family piled in the car and left the house. If she was outside she would chase the car and keep up behind us at 25mph no problem. Then of course we had to let her in cause we were out of the neighborhood and in traffic. She did know how to get her way. Best Dog ever.

I have a basenji mixed with German Sheppard and she is definitely a piece of work. Super smart dog...too smart.

I have had 5 Basenjis: Michi lived to 16yrs, Brin lived to 18yrs and 'Tiz lived to 19yrs. Also, my new guy has one blue eye:)

This dog is from my country Congo ❤️🇨🇩

Discovered by the “westerners” IN THE CONGO 🙂🙂🙂

Hey, genius. It is clear what she meant. Westerners became aware of them when they found them in Congo. Of course they were bred by African peoples long before westerners got there. Anyone with half a brain can get that.

Very professional and well done...!

Had never heard of the breed - I thought we had gotten a cattle dog mix- but what we actually have is a Basenji! 🤓

They also come in the colors of blue tri, blue and cream and also blue brindle. I owned a blue tri color female and she was a very loving sweet kind and gentle dog. She was also very protective of her owners. You could never ask for a more perfect dog than a basenji I have also owned a red and white basenji male that was her puppy and he was such an exceptional dog also they are the greatest breed to as far as I am concerned!

The Basenji only comes into season once a year , they also like resting on the lower limbs of trees . Both features are residual of their fairly recent wild past.

The barkless dog!!🐶🐶

Everything I watched was pure nd it’s true cus i also have a brindle basenji

Yaaa I have a basenji. He is so cute and smart

I had a Basenji that had another genetic disease called Fanconi. If breeder is reputable most of them will get a test done on parents or puppies when they are born. I have had 4 and thay are definitely not lazy, stubborn yes and very smart. Love the breed but the definitely take some getting used to.😃

SoOoOoOoOoOoOoO cute

They may like the sun, but they are NOT lazy.

just ordered one I will be getting in 3 weeks looking forward to him but now im getting nervous should be a venture for both of us.

I live by myself in an apartment. From your experience how's yours doing? Do you recommend a Basenji?

@@laithsu I lived in an apartment when I got mine, and without my wife there, it would have been tough. If we left the pup in a crate, she would get nervous and poop all over it. We’d have to wash her and the crate when we got home. She never got used to it. Now I have a backyard, and that helps a lot. I leave her and the male back there when we leave for work, or in the house if I’m gone for an hour or two. The basenjis are much more manageable if I can go to a secluded spot and let them run off leash. After 45 min, the female is about done, but the male takes far fewer breaks and goes for an hour or more. I try to do that every day, but other obligations make it hard to do. I can’t imagine meeting their needs via walks or on-leash running.

The heights given are to the shoulder not the tops of the ears.

I wonder what a crosd between a Besengi and Dingo would be like?

many working and hunting breeds were bred to be somewhat autonomous and able to make their own decisions on the fly in complex and potentially dangerous situations. To call a breed 'Stubborn' isn't a fair or accurate description of the breed's traits. When hunting a lion or vicious badger for instance it behooves a dog to be able to act independently from your direct observation and command

It's price?

Where can you purchase a basenji?

not great for apartments!!!!!! some ppl make it happen with sooo much work saying they are ideal in an apartment is not good for ppl or basenjis

Nope the colour white does not exist, but tricolor, red&white, black&white and dark brindle/white do.

I guess they wouldn’t be a good boat dog.

stubborn and inteligent? sounds like a great dane

Треть собак, которых показали - не басенджи 😂

White????

Not white..not lazy..

Maybe they are intelligent because they are stubborn.

"...'Discovered' by Westerners...". Lol. Do better.
