15+ Amazing Facts About Basenji Dogs You Might Not Know

updated

#10 Basenji is a very clean dog, and – amazing!

He doesn't smell like a dog at all. He even often washes his paw, just like cats! For apartment maintenance, it is ideal. Another similar feature is that most Basenjis don't like water. Perhaps this is how the genetic memory of "communication" with African crocodiles makes itself felt.

#11 If an insufficiently trained Basenji is left to himself, he will get bored and start to misbehave. And if you let him go unattended in an unfamiliar area, the fearless dog will surely end up in some kind of “story”.

#12 Basenji, like dingos and singing New Guinea dogs, enter estrus only once a year, while others have two breeding seasons each year.
