Uhlobo lwenja ye-Basenji luqhelekile eluntwini iminyaka engaphezu kwamawaka amathandathu. Oku kuqinisekiswa ngokufunyaniswa kwezinto zakudala. Izinto ezininzi zakudala zafunyanwa ngexesha lokufunda amangcwaba amandulo aseYiputa. Imifanekiso eqingqiweyo eyahlukeneyo, imizobo, kunye neebhokisi ezinomfanekiso wezinja bubungqina obuthe ngqo bonxibelelwano olusondeleyo phakathi komntu, ngelo xesha, kunye nenja yobukhosi, nenhle.
