You should have sent Shango home with her. Her opinion would have changed after her sofa was masticated, clothes eaten and the contents of her refrigerator were strewn about her house in a reckless and half eaten manner.
Basenjis aren't pretentious; they simply don't associate with beings who are their mental inferiors.
Just let it roll off your back. She apparently didn't know about the breed - nor was she very tactful or polite. Ya can't 'love' some people but …
Ya can always love the Basenji! [smiling]
This reminds me of the day I was out on a hike with my B in a historical park. While I was reading a sign, Colbey decided to lay down. A lady coming down the path who had 3 rat looking dogs calls out in a really snotty tone "Why is he laying down?" I look over at her and simply say "Because he feels like it" and shrug. Ugh… people who have dogs that know nothing about dogs and pretend to really do get on my nerves.

Why wouldn't he be laying down? He's a Basenji. They do what makes them feel best. Regardless, what's wrong with a dog laying down? 
Shango sounds like a lovely dog, I don't suppose his opinion of the daughter was very high, I wouldn't worry about her appalling manners.
