My boys are always desperate for food - but I have never had a Basenji who wasn't.
My girl only acts desperate for cheese, chicken, or hot dogs. If I try to train using kibble she just looks at the food and runs off/ignores me. In the mornings she doesn't eat even if the previous night at dinner she was still hungry after finishing her food. Is that not normal?
I've just kind of been following her lead for meals and picking up the food if she doesn't eat in 15 minutes but she only rarely seems desperate for food

No. Point is, if you vary the treats you are creating a fussy eater. You need to be totally consistent n what you treat her with, as well as taking her food up if she doesn't eat it. Cheese, chicken and hotdogs can be restricted until she realises she ain't goin' to get other than normal rations. Some dogs don't want to eat early in the morning - they often go out and eat grass to clear our the stomach first. Not all dogs, and not every day, but it does happen.
Some Basenjis are not food motivated. But often it is because they have become picky.
