The Basenji is a primitive or pariah-type dog who originated in as a hunting dog in Africa. He has a short, fine coat, prick ears, a forehead always wrinkled in thought and a tail that curls over his back. His behaviors are often described as catlike, and he is indeed highly curious, intelligent, and independent.
Most basenji breederâs web sites are old and out of date. Our site was one of them. The last change made to Jumoke Basenjis at barkless.com was in January of 2003. We did attempt to start a new site at jumoke.com in December of 2006, but ran out of time to work on the project and the site was not meeting expectations.
