What breed makes a good match with the basenji?

  • If you have ever experienced the noise of the Pharaoh, mulitply it bey 1000% when thinking about a Cirneco. GLUG. Cute yes, horrid little monsters though.

    RRs…. fabulous wonderful dogs.


  • We actually have a little bit of everything - a basenji (the second one coming from the breeder in couple of weeks), a one-year-old akita (the basenji and the akita are inseparable), and a 4-month-old boxer. They are just one big happy pack!

    And they dig, dig, dig… and dig more...gggg (Cirneco's).... or so I am told by people that own them.... There are a couple in our area that have been to Lure Trials.... but they are very cute

  • Hi, we have just got our first Basenji, Milo, who is sharing the house with two Rhodesian Ridgebacks. They have got on really well even though Milo is a very active puppy. Both our Ridgebacks, Luke and Kris are so laid back they really just allow Milo to do whatever… We chose the Basenji as they are African hounds and it's nice to keep them from the same continent. I think Basenjis and Ridgebacks are ideal companions. Fab!


  • I of course would recommend the Podengo - the medium or bigger one (I prefer the big smooth which is of course why I have them :) )

    Hanna the Podengo and Sarge the Basenji enjoy each other a lot - rip and tear and run and jump etc etc etc. (except for now when she is in season and with the boy I imported.)

  • I can see nobody has told you about Ridgeback:)))) reat African duo with basenji:D


  • The RR is a bit too big.. Sorry :D
    Although the Paraoh hound is the same size.. I do like them… And the Podengo Medio.. (sorry no Grande.. ;)) is nice as well.

    If I could 'just' add a dog without really considering size etc it would be a Pharaoh hound.. or another b.. :D :D

    I can't listen to that, it would wake my girl up and well... I'm not into a "sing along" just now. ;) I will say that many canines howl and yodel and bay (at the moon, whenever a fire truck passes, etc.). I'm not certain that any one breed is distinctive enough to have a sound all their own, but many a proud owner would probably assert so.

    I am a musician and I spend a lot of time reviewing music. This means I'll be sitting at my computer, headphones on listening to a song and unaware of the outside world. My girl sunshine knows that when the phone rings, I'm supposed to answer it. So when it rings and I'm on the computer with the headphones on, she'll run up to me and "bark" in her way and jump on me to alert me to the phone. She'll then run ahead of me to the phone and watch me as I answer it. She'll also alert me when the doorbell rings or someone in the household yells for me. This she learned all on her own. Dumb dog? Who are they kidding! (to CBS, here's a major rasberry call just for you! thhhhhhhhhhhhh)
