 Not Basenji Specific June 5, 2002
7 out of 10 found this review helpful
Look, if you're looking for Basenji specific books, this is not one of them. It is informative, but not on Basenjis. This book would work for any breed rescue. I was disappointed because what I wanted was a book with all the pluses and minuses of living with a Basenji. This book contained none of that information. What it did have was great tips on rescuing and living with a rescued dog. The only thing "Basenji" about it was the title and the photos.

This is an excellent book about the care and ownership of an exotic breed, the basenji. These dogs clean themselves like dogs, shed tears when sad and yodel and laugh instead of bark. A beautiful, graceful and clean limbed dog, the barkless basenjis will find a place in the hearts of all who encounter them.An ancient breed dating some 2,000 years, this African dog was the loved pet of Egyptian nobility and royalty. Basenjis appeared in ancient Egyptian artwork, e.g. paintings of the dogs and basenji shaped footstools. Even Anubis, the Egyptian God of the Underworld had a basenji head. This book introduces all to this lovable, beautiful and intelligent hound. I like the way BRAT, a basenji rescue organization is mentioned throughout the book. Care, breeding and training the dog is well researched and well written. This is an excellent tool for all, from the lay person to the well established basenji breeder and rescuer. Basenjis are beautiful, exotic dogs from their furrowed brows to their double curled tails. Independent and intelligent, this is one breed that is clearly distinct from all other breeds. Basenji lovers will be made after reading this and for folks who are familiar with the breed and already love basenjis will cherish them all the more.

This book is a bible on working with your adopted Basenji and understanding the things to do and not do while your Basenji unpacks the luggage it carries.

This book was recommended to me by a friend who had recently adopted a Basenji rescue dog. I found it to be very helpful and informative, and the pictures were fun to look at!
