Good companion dog ~ but you gotta stay 'one step' ahead of them!.Highly Intelligent, can be a great 'con artist' with their owners.The first successful importation occurred in the 1930s both in England and the United States. A good hunting Basenji was valued more than a wife by some tribes in Africa, not only for his hunting skill but also his resourcefulness and ingenuity.ДЄttempts to bring the Basenji to Europe failed at first because the imported dogs all died of disease shortly after arrival. There, the dogs were used to flush game into nets, to carry goods, and to warn of the approach of dangerous animals when on the trail. His metabolism is unlike that of any other domesticated dog, and like wild canids the female Basenji only cycles once a year compared to twice a year for other domesticated dogs.Д«asenjis were discovered by Westerners in the Congo region of West Africa in the 19th century. It's also theorized that he is only partially domesticated. Like his wild cousin the wolf, the Basenji can bark but usually barks only once and then is silent. The Basenji is probably one of the oldest breeds of domesticated dog, and perhaps that's why he's not a barker.Д®arly people may have preferred a quiet dog on hunts. In Africa the dog was used by the natives as a guide in the forest, to warn against the approach of dangerous animals, for pointing and retrieving of small game and driving game into nets. English breeders refined it and exported it all over the world. The first traces of a dog similar to the Basenji are found in Egyptian tombs and wall drawings of five thousand years ago.ДЄlso called the Congo Dog, it was first introduced to England in 1937.
