Basenji dogs are very small. If you want a nice quiet dog that won’t cause you much bother, one that is easy to look after and does not bark a lot, then the Basenji is for you! These little dogs are beautiful to look at and if that is not enough, they are very small! They are a member of the Toy group and stand at a height of ten inches when grown up, and they grow to a small weight of ten pounds or so.

Basenji dogs are very well mannered and like to snuggle! They are perfect apartment living sorta dogs, they are great little lap dogs and they are quieter than a lot of small dogs who can sometimes love to bark a lot! They are easy to train, they do not require a lot of exercise, and they do not eat a lot so a big bag of dog food will last for a long time!

If you know an elderly person who could use a bit of daily company, suggest the Basenji to them as a pet!
