The BasenjiSight Hound
  Rosa Rugosa and Ruby from Rugosa Basenjis
The Basenji is a dog requiring commitment of an owner. It's alert, very intelligent and independent. This short-haired dog has no bark but is able to produce plenty of other sounds that may make the owner (and neighbors) wish it did bark. Easily bored they will find their own entertain to the owners displeasure. Not unlike a goat they will eat and chow on just about anything. They love freedom and the "hunt" and should not be left off leash unless securely confined in a fenced yard or enclosure. Plenty of exercise. Basenjis love to be a part of the family. They can get along with other dogs and cats (keep a close eye on them until they adjust). Don't, however, intend to raise rabbits or other small mammals that may rekindle their hunting instincts.

We STRONGLY recommend that you get your dog from a respectable breeder or rescue organization. Pet store puppies may get their dogs from Puppy Mills that normally breed only for profit, not quality or concern for the puppy or its eventual owner.
If you would like help locating a breeder or rescue agency near you please E-Mail PGAA ( ita408@comcast.net), and let us know your city/state and the type of dog you are looking for. Do not assume that PGAA has qualified all of the breeders or rescues on this site. Do your own check of each breeder or rescue -- be sure that you are comfortable with the organization before you buy, adopt or turn-over a dog.  Rescue Links | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
