Basenji
BACKGROUND
The Basenji, Africa’s barkless dog, existed in the early days of the Pharaohs, and in fact the breed is older than the Pyramids themselves. It was not until 1895 that Western civilization discovered the Basenji in the Congo regions being used by the various tribes as a hunting dog. Even today, they are highly prized possessions, as without these little dogs, natives lose their prestige as hunters.
AVERAGE LIFESPAN
Basenjis can often live up to 14 years of age, but with the proper care and nutrition will usually live to 16 years (more…)
