There are two of these that show up weekly or so at the Doggie Doo Run Run. (DDRR) But, these are the only basenjis I have ever encountered.

The ones at the DDRR seem rather aloof for the most part. One is a bit aggressive at times with smaller dogs while the other one kind of just hangs around its owner and growls at you when you try to pet it on the head. The aggressive one does not mind being petted though even if it is a bit of a problem to other small dogs.

I am told that they do not bark from some resources while I believe these two dogs' owner said that they do but rarely.

I guess every breed has its individuals.

I would never have guessed I would own a part chihuahua after my experiences as a kid riding my bike past a full bred chihuahua's fenced in yard in Reno, Nevada. That pooch acted like a junk yard dog when I would pedal by his fenced in yard like he wanted to take a jaw sized chuck out of me or my bike.
