Basenji
Typically, Basenjis adore people. Occasionally, one can appear to be aloof upon first meeting. Most Basenjis love to be petted, to be hugged, and to be with you. They are wonderful companions and love to be loved. If raised with them, they will follow children anywhere. (Like children, however, Basenjis can also be very demanding of your time and attention.) They are comical, quizzical, highly intelligent and full of energy. It is hard to be depressed around a Basenji, they have such zest for life. They seem to feel that each new day brings a new challenge, something new to see and explore. If Basenjis were Irish, they’d probably be leprechauns. Basenjis smell your breath and your clothes every time you come in for clues as to what you've been eating, where you have been, and what you have been up to. Every time you come in the door they greet you with great joy as if they hadn’t seen you for months.

Known as "the barkless dog from Africa," Basenjis are silent most of the time. Although they do not bark, they have a large vocabulary of squeaks, cries, and a loud yawn. Some yodel or give a sound that is like a rooster beginning to crow when they are happy or want to get your attention. Basenjis can also give a one-syllable "woof" when startled and shriek loudly when in pain.

Owners who appreciate high intelligence and creativity, a loving and friendly disposition, gazelle-like beauty, and who also possess the patience and stamina to deal with a lively, smart, trying,and very determined dog will do the best with Basenjis. People simply wanting a subservient, obedient, “watchdog” or a quiet lapdog will probably not do as well with this breed.
