Basenji Personality

    Wishing to bring a pet dog into your home? Some canine breeds are easier to own than others, particularly for novice dog parents.

    To identify the easiest dog breeds to own, we had a look at a range of crucial attributes. And you might be shocked by the characteristics that matter most. You might think you want a clever canine. Highly intelligent dogs aren't always the easiest to train, because trainability is more about a dog's willingness to follow instructions than his capacity to recognize them.

    You might expect an energetic dog will be the simplest to keep healthy. A dog with a lower energy level and no genetic predisposition to disease will really be simpler to deal with. Plus, choosing a dog with an easygoing temperament - and minimal grooming needs - will go a very long way toward keeping you sane.

    Top 5 Easiest Dog's To Own

    1. Beagle - The beagle is among the top 10 most popular breeds for good reason: He has a bigger-than-life personality and a merry nature that make him a warm and joyful companion.

    3. Bulldog - If you want a patient and mellow dog, you can't make a mistake with the bulldog. You can successfully train your bulldog - especially if you use lots of praise and rewards and keep a sense of humor.

    4. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel - They can be loyal hiking partners or shameless couch potatoes, relying on the owner's character - as long as they get a rewarding walk each day.

    5. Basset Hound - These medium-sized dogs aren't very energetic. And while most dog owners won't put the basset hound's hunting prowess to the test, they'll cherish the breed's absolute patience with children.

Basenji Information

The basenji is square-proportioned and high on leg. It is far more slightly built and longer-legged than most other primitive breeds, giving it a good amount of speed and the ability to perform the double-suspension gallop. Its erect ears help it locate prey in thick bush and may act as heat dissipaters. Its short coat also aids in dealing with the hot climate of Africa.

Some consider the basenji to have terrier-like mannerisms because it is feisty for a hound. More often it is considered catlike in mannerisms: clever, inquisitive, stubborn, independent and reserved. Its hunting roots are very evident, as it loves to chase and trail. It needs regular mental and physical stimulation, lest it become frustrated and destructive. Basenjis may be barkless, but they are not mute. They do make a sort of yodel, howl and shriek — and occasionally bark, but just one or two "fox barks" at a time.
