As I have read your posts and done some more research of my own, I have started to agree that they are probably not what I am looking for. Thank you everyone for helping me!

Hello! After years of begging, my parents are finally letting me get a dog. While doing research I learned about the Basenji, and I can't decide if it is what I am looking for. I know this site is probably biased , but could y'all give me some advice? I want a dog that is relatively easy to train, not aggressive, energetic enough to play at the park, but still able to be left home alone some. I've heard a Basenji grooms itself like a cat, so will it not shed a lot? Please let me know if this sounds similar to a Basenji or if I should keep looking. Thank you!!!
