Basenji Dog Breed Information

  • 31/10/2010

The Basenji breed is a between 15 and 18 inches high. With a distinctive face that is wrinkled around the forehead. Here we see a short muzzle, smaller than the skull, which is flat. The ears are small, erect, and face forward. The eyes are brown and oval in appearance. You see a lovely straight-line back. The legs are straight and in proportion to the dog. The tail is set elevated and can curl to either side. Their coat is shiny and short, with fine fur. The colours we see are pure copper, black, red and chestnut red. They have a lovely range of tri colours and these are black, tan and white, or black, brindle and white. For the AKC standard, the dog needs to have white on the chest, feet, and the tip of the tail. This dog can as an option have white legs, blaze and collar. This dog doesn't bark. Now before you decide it's the one for you, this doesn't mean it makes no noise, it does, they can howl, crow, growl and are known for their yodel noises. So therefore they are still vocal, and it will depend on the dog's mood what you may hear.
