Basenji

 The Basenji is an elegant hunting dog with roots in Africa, and can be traced back to the Pharaohs of ancient Egypt. They are also known as “the barkless” dog. Instead of barking, they yodel when excited.Basenjis are independent, and known for thinking and making decisions on their own. While extremely intel-ligent, they can be difficult to train, because they need to see the point in whatever they’re asked to do. An average Basenji is alert, curious, and energetic. They are also athletic and love to climb.This breed has some habits unusual for dogs. They don’t like wet weather, they clean themselves all over like a cat, and they don’t get the “doggy smell.”The Basenji tends to become emotionally attached to one person. They accept other family members and are generally loving and patient with children, but there’s one person that is “theirs.”An average Basenji weighs around 24 lbs, and a Medi-um PlexiDor dog door is the perfect size.
