One thing you can do to help his coat is to bathe him every 1-2 weeks with Murphy's Oil Soap. Use your fingers and gently "scrub" him while he is soaped up. (Murphy's does not produce much lather so don't expect it.) The massaging will loosen dead hair and help it fall out. This stimulates new hair to grow. Murphy's has natural oils including coconut that help moisten the skin and keep it healthy.

My 8 yrs male basenji gives me heart attack once in a while. He all of sudden acts like he is drunk. He cant stand still or walk straight. He moans while in this condition. After about 8 or 10 minutes he walks away normal. Im really worried. I m going to get him tested but has anyone experienced that?

Sorry to hear of your Basenjis problem, you are right to get him checked out as soon as possible. Let us know how he gets on.

This could possibly be a minor epileptic attack. I have seen a video of many forms of these attacks (no basenjis) many of them very different and this was an example.
A canine neurologist could confirm.
