Basenjis are called barkless dogs although that is not quite accurate. They don't have a full-throated bark but do have a yodel, growl with the best of dogs and make other, various noises. They were used as hunting dogs in ancient Egypt, where they were ultimately considered minor gods and Central Africa. For the most part, they are very protective of their master and are very much one-person dogs. The aggressiveness to smaller dogs is not really common but not really rare, either. Some are accepting of other humans, some are not. Just don't threaten the owner -- you might just lose vital parts of you. lol The main thing to remember is that they are hounds with the energy and stubbornness of hounds (think beagle with a mild case of ADD and a HUGE case of mischief).
