You can help allergic reaction with most breeds by simply grooming regularly and wiping down with even something like baby wipes. But no dog is hypoallergenic.If your allergies are mild you can do what many of us do, just take antihistamines. 🙂 If severe, sadly you should not count on a basenji to no set them off. Some nonshedding dogs do better, but they also have dander and saliva, so they also are NOT hypoallergenic.

I'm new…I just wanted to introduce myself and such...
My name is Kayla,
I don't have a basenji, but I'm on a waiting list for one for next fall...
I have a med-sized mutt right now he is my joy (he's actually just a little bit bigger than a basenji, he might be much bigger when he's fully grown though and he has a wrinkly forehead..if only he had standing ears instead of floppy, lol) and he loves dogs and I really want a playmate for him...I also have a bengal, he was at first a little scared of dogs but now he loves to play and cuddle with my pup.
I had a basenji when I was really young, but don't remember too much.
I think they are the most adorable and fun dogs someone can own.
One of my neighbors has one and our pups play together....I cannot wait to get another one!
Thanks for Reading my post!

I'm assuming you mean a cat, not a tiger.
If you get a puppy, the cat and a basenji should be fine. An adult B meeting a cat for the first time will typically give chase. Cats run from dogs, typically, and basenji's chase anything that runs away, including people. -
yeah. Mia just likes to chase our cat around.
where as rocky tries to eat her. (rocky was a year old when he came here)haha and i thought tiger when i saw that but i thought, hmm.. thats not right. lol :p

My puppy had never really been around cats but he's very good with my bengal. (lol yes it's a cat not a tiger I don't think they allow tigers in lofts.)
Also I work with a trainer who trained her dog, whom she just got from a rescue who used to eat cats to sleep with her 3 cats she currently has.
It was a miracle
she's like the dog whisperer lol
I've seen her work with the most aggressive dogs and they turn out to be the sweetest pets ever! -
Bengals are very cool cats indeed.:)
Welcome to the forum, enjoy the fun and information.
