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.
When you own a Basenji you own a unique dog, one that is terrier-sized and comes in four colour variations - red and white; black and white; a combination of these colours, known as tricolour; and brindle and white. All have white feet, tail-tip and some white on the chest.
