Dog breeds: BasenjiThe Basenji is an African breed that developed in Zaire. It is sometimes called the Congo Dog or the Congo Terrier. . They are not barkers, however, they do have a range of vocalizations that they make including crows and keening wails. They were developed to flush game birds from the bush. The Basenji is a small breed dog that will not grow taller than 17 inches, or weigh more than about 24 pounds. They have a short, smooth, silky coat that is appropriate for warming climates. The health problems that are associated with this breed include PRA, intestinal problems, and kidney problems. To care for this breed you will want to bathe and brush their coat only as needed. They will need daily exercise to keep them from putting on too much weight. They have a naturally curious nature so you will want to make sure that you either keep them on a leash when at the park, or keep them in a securely fenced yard.
