The Basenji

The Basenji is a beautiful and intelligent breed.  A member of the hound group, the Basenji is still used today as a hunting dog.  As a pet, the Basenji is a fun-loving and loyal dog.  However, the Basenji can be a challenging pet.  The breed's intelligence often leads to a lot of mischief that can at times make them a handful.
