What do you know about the world’s only dog that doesn’t bark, the Basenji?

The Basenji is a short-haired hunting dog native to Africa. In addition to having the characteristics of a hunting dog, this dog also has a characteristic that sets it apart from other dogs: it does not bark, but is not mute. The origin story of the Basenji is relatively rich, and today I’m here to share it with you. The Basenji, also known as the Congo Dog and the Barking Dog, was originally from Zaire in the 16th century and its pure bloodline has been well maintained. According to the records, this dog was sent as a gift from the source of the Nile River to the Pharaohs of ancient Egypt, and on one of the ancient Egyptian paintings, a Basenji crouches at the feet of the Pharaoh. After ancient Egypt, the Basenji fell into the hands of the people, and Congolese herders discovered this strong, intelligent and agile breed and bred and used it as a hunting dog. It was not until centuries later that dog lovers in England and the United States discovered the breed and bred it as a new breed. By 1942, the American Basenji Club was formed and accepted the British Basenji Club’s certification standards for the breed. A year later, the Basenji was officially registered and recognized and spread around the world. The Basenji has long been known as a hunting dog, with a keen sense of smell, as well as being intelligent and brave, and is gradually being bred as a family dog. The Basenji is very active, curious, gentle and kind to its family members, brings a lot of fun to the home, and most importantly, it doesn’t bark! This is why it is so popular with dog lovers all over the world. If you want to raise a pet dog in the city, the Basenji is a great choice, the cost of raising it is not too high, and this dog is not aggressive, as long as you do a good job of simple conditioning and training, it can become a very good family dog.
