How to Basenji Adopt Are you thinking of adopting a Basenji? These hound dogs are highly intelligent and very affectionate, but they can also be independent. Here is how to adopt one! Read on to learn more! And if you haven't already, read about Basenji rescue! Camp Basenji is a fantastic rescue organization that saves, rehabilitates, and provides foster homes for dogs in need. Their mission is to provide second chances to these dogs so they can find new homes. Basenjis are hound dogs A breed of hunting dog, the Basenji was developed in central Africa and was originally bred from primitive stock. Their yodel-like sound is a unique characteristic, as is their unusually shaped larynx. The Fédération Cynologique Internationale places the Basenji in the primitive or Spitz category. Its distinctive rounded ears are an attractive feature of this breed. Basenjis are known to be especially prone to chasing rabbits. While Basenjis are not notorious for barking, they are quite energetic and need plenty of exercise. A large yard is recommended, as they can become destructive if not given enough exercise. Keeping an eye on them is also a must. They are great escape artists and need constant supervision. As with any hound dog, a Basenji must be supervised at all times, especially in the yard. While they don't mind living with cats, they shouldn't be left alone in an apartment with other small pets. The Basenji has short, fine fur. Its coat is either chestnut red, black, or a tricolor. The dog's feet and tail tip are white. Its coat color can vary from chestnut red to chestnut or a brindle color. White feet and a white collar are other characteristics of the breed. The Basenji's coat is extremely clean and shiny, and it sheds less than any other breed. They are intelligent The Basenji breed is a very intelligent, stubborn dog. They are ranked second to last in the breed's intelligence, but it is not because of intelligence, but because of their stubbornness. These dogs are highly intelligent, and the breed is prized for its independence and independent thought. These dogs are known for their loyalty to their owners and are friendly with family, although they can be standoffish when meeting strangers. The following is a brief overview of the personality and health characteristics of the Basenji breed. Training a Basenji is a challenging process. While they are very intelligent and observant, they can be stubborn and easily get bored with training. While a Basenji may be capable of learning a new skill, they are not particularly interested in following instructions. This breed needs constant positive reinforcement to stay motivated, so training sessions should be short and full of praise. Regardless of the level of your Basenji's intelligence, you should expect it to be an excellent companion for many years to come. The Basenji dog breed was developed in the Congo as a hunting dog. They use sight and smell to find prey. Their original purpose was to flush small game into hunters' nets, but now they make excellent family pets. Historically, the Basenji was used as a pet for Egyptian Pharaohs. While it is unlikely that they were kept in the Egyptian Pharaohs' household, the dog's intelligent and lovable nature may have contributed to the dogs' popularity. They are affectionate A Basenji's affectionate nature can be quite endearing, and they will do almost anything for their owner, including licking and grooming themselves. These dogs are among the cleanest breeds, and they love to spend time grooming themselves after a walk. Since their grooming habits are more like that of cats than dogs, they do not smell as bad as most other breeds. Also, they will use their paws to clean themselves rather than their mouths, which can leave them very smelly. Basenjis show affection by staring into their owners' eyes. Eye contact releases the chemical oxytocin, which helps form a stronger bond between owner and dog. Some dogs may find this eye contact threatening, however, and they should be kept away from them at all times. Other Basenjis will lick their owners to express their affection, but not all of them do it. A Basenji will cover you with saliva if he is feeling lonely. A Basenji is a pack animal, and while they are very affectionate and playful, they may be overly aloof around other dogs. They can become difficult to train and are often prone to ignoring their owner. Even if you do train them to become a good pet, it's important to be consistent and positive in your interactions with them. Unless you plan to leave them alone for long periods of time, they may act out. They are independent As the name suggests, Basenjis are independent dogs that are not easily trained. While they are known to be "barkless" dogs, they are prone to yodeling and chewing when they get lonely. Despite their independent nature, they are excellent companion dogs, and love to explore. Despite their aloof and independent personality, Basenjis make great pets. Listed below are some common traits of the Basenji breed. Aside from being intelligent, the Basenji is also a bit stubborn. Some sources rank this breed in the bottom half of the intelligence scale, but this trait was coveted for its independent thinking. While these dogs are obedient to their owners, they can be aloof to strangers. This trait makes them great companions for families, but they can be standoffish when meeting strangers. Therefore, it is important to train your Basenji in a way that he will respect your boundaries. Although the Basenji is not a hunting dog, they like to be active and participate in activities such as agility or lure courses. Although they are not commonly used for hunting, they are wonderful family dogs and live up to 13 years of age. They require early socialization and exercise and are good watchdogs. The females of the breed only have one heat cycle per year. They also make a distinctive yodel, which is a common sign of mischief. They are a good companion for active families Basenji are great pets for active families. These dogs are high energy and do well with children, provided they are properly socialized and trained. Basenjis are notorious for chewing and should be handled carefully. If you have young children, they might motivate them to clean up after them! Here are some basic training tips for Basenjis: Basenji are friendly with children, but can be quite a handful. They do not tend to bark much, but will growl or yodel to express their feelings. Children may be a little scared of these dogs, and you'll have to be extra vigilant when playing with them around young children. Basenjis are also good with cats and other small family pets, but they should be socialized properly to make sure they don't become a nuisance. Basenjis require more than a yard to thrive. You'll need to spend time training your new companion. You must be patient and dedicated, because these intelligent dogs need a lot of attention. While they may seem quiet, they talk up a storm when they're with their owners. While they don't bark, the yodel they emit is quite distinctive and will give you plenty of entertainment. Basenjis enjoy active lifestyles. They enjoy agility, lure courses, and dog sports, and are often a great addition to active families. They also outlive most other breeds, and live to be around 13 years old. However, they're fiercely protective of their family, so they must be socialized at a young age. As long as they have lots of time to play with you, Basenjis can be a fun companion for active families. They require a lot of exercise If you are considering getting a Basenji for your home, you've probably wondered if they need a lot of exercise. These large, energetic dogs should get at least an hour of exercise every day. While you may not have to do much of that in a daily routine, Basenjis do have a strong instinct to hunt. When out and about, keep an eye out for their famous "predatory look." If you see a dog hunched over and focused, your puppy is probably scouting a game. If you see that behaviour, immediately remove the dog from the area. Basenjis are very intelligent dogs, and they like to use devious tactics to reach their goals. You should exercise them regularly to allow them to release their energy and to keep their minds sharp. Basenjis also need a lot of exercise, because they are notorious for chewing walls, pulling stuffing out of couches, and destroying their yard. This breed is not suitable for homes with young children, because it may become confused and destructive if it is left alone. If you choose to get a Basenji, be prepared to spend a good amount of time grooming and combing their coat. Although the breed's coat is short, it still needs to be brushed frequently to remove dust and a layer of loose hair. While a Basenji will not require baths more than twice a year, you should brush its teeth at least once a week to prevent dental disease and bad breath.
