Frequently Asked Questions
Why don’t Basenjis bark?
They have a unique larynx that prevents typical barking. Instead, they make “yodels” or “baroos”.
Are Basenjis good with kids?
Yes, but early socialisation is required. Families with older children are more suited to them.
Do Basenjis shed?
Yes, but minimally. Low shedding and self cleaning are unique traits that they have.
Are Basenjis hard to train?
They’re smart but independent. Consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement are needed for training.
