I love it when they talk and yodel. Whenever they do I always give them huge praises and lots of pets, though this positive reinforcement does not seem to yield any more yodels. I am very excited when I do get them.
Basenjis: A Complete Pet Owner's Manual by Mary Lou Kenworthy
-
I have many basenji books including the Elspet Ford book, Mary Lou Kenworthy's book, and Sue Coe's book. They are all good books and each a little different. When I was first researching the breed Sue Coe's, The Basenji: Out of Africa to You was the one recommended to me and was very comprehensive. Mary Lou's book is also very good and geared to the pet owner. Elspet Ford's was a different perspective on the breed since it filled in a lot more of the British history than Sue Coe's book.
I'm going to have to get Susan Coe's book, especially because Ruby is of Akuaba lineage. Thanks for posting about that, because I didn't know she had written a book.

I love this book! I bought a copy when I was in the market for a basenji. I actually got to meet her at a lure coursing meeting (lure coursing is a great activity for basenjis). MaryLou gave me the contacts for the basenji i have now. If you dont have this book you should. Suprisingly I found it at Barnes&Nobles.
-
Because it is a Barron's book, it is one of the easier to get basenji books. I really enjoyed it but I am probably a little biased since it is filled with my dogs' Kenset relatives.

Just arrived in the mail today…from e-bay...an autographed blue book (second edition) of Victoria Tudor-Williams' Basenjis, The Barkless Dogs! Not as relevant as Sue Coe's book, but I have wanted one for years!

I also bought this book before getting Dallas & am so grateful I did! It has a lot of useful information about such a unique breed
-
-
A Kennel Club Book: Basenji is also a great book. It has about 155 pages and written by Juliette Cunliffe.
-
So I found two books out by here the first blue one then the one that says Basenjis: Everything About History, Purchase, Care, Training, And Health. Which one is better for soon to be puppy owner?
-
I just purchased Mary Lou Kenworthy's and Juliette Cunliffe's books. Lookin' forward to getting them.
-
The Basenji, by Susan Coe is a great reference to have also
-
I ordered The "Basenji" ( blue book) From America ( i live in Italy)…and loved it!!! It gave me good advice...but will be looking for other ones to read. This one cost me Euro15.00!!! $21.12...thats a lot isnt it??
-
Dio you mean Veronica Tudor Williams' 'Blue' book? If so 15 Euros is a bargain.
-
I've bought this book and find it to be excellent. It's well targeted to basenjis, instead of being a dog book where all they do is edit the name of the breed and pump out numerous owner's manuals. I plan on re-reading it and highlighting the various passages that will help me when I purchase my puppy.
-
Another good book is The Basenji by Susan Coe
-
You can get this book cheap on Amazon. I have these books:
The Second Hand Basenji Handbook
Basenjis by Jack Shafer and Bob Mankey
The Complete Basenji by Elspet Ford
