Description
Why is a Basenji different from other dogs?
The Basenji is a small, short-haired hunting dog from Africa, also known as the African Barkless Dog, and is one of the oldest "natural" breeds known to man. Ancient Egyptian carvings of Basenjis have been found on the pyramids. It is speculated that African tribal chiefs gave their treasured dogs to the Pharaohs as gifts.
Basenjis average 16 to 17 inches in height at the shoulder and weigh 22 to 24 pounds. It is a short-backed, lightly built dog with a wrinkled forehead, small erect ears, and a tightly curled tail.
The short coat of a Basenji can be red (auburn) and white, black and white, tricolor (black, white, and tan), or brindle in color, but its feet, chest, and tail tip should all be white.
