Breed characteristics and character
The Basenji is a unique dog breed with a centuries-old history. It appeared more than 4000 years ago in African countries and was an indispensable assistant in hunting. The non-barking Basenji dog was even mentioned in ancient Egyptian myths and was of great value to the people of that time as a loyal friend and companion.
Due to the fact that the Basenji breed was not artificially bred, it has retained hunting instincts and practically does not accept training. But the African silent bird carries out simple commands necessary for everyday life without problems.
For the most part, the success of training depends on the relationship between the owner and the dog. If you establish contact with your dog, then throughout its life it will be interested in acquiring new knowledge.
But you should not punish a puppy for refusing to train, otherwise in the future she will simply refuse altogether. More often it is worth switching her attention to games and giving her a rest between classes.
The main feature of this dog is the absence of barking, typical of other breeds. This does not mean that she does not bark at all, but the Basenji's bark has a higher pitch due to the different structure of the larynx.
The African silent dog is an extremely clean dog that washes itself with its paws like a cat and brings virtually no smell into the house. And also some owners of their reviews characterize the Basenji as a hypoallergenic breed, but each dog is individual and this should be taken into account when buying a puppy.
This dog has a very cheerful and playful character, which is not suitable for sedentary people. The dog does not accept training, but willingly engages in small hunting due to its remaining hunting instincts.
They will be a faithful friend for many years, as they become strongly attached to their owner and will diligently protect him from unfamiliar people. They are not aggressive towards children and enjoy playing outdoor games with both adults and children.
We are pleased to welcome you to the website of our nursery
Basenji breed "AFRICAN SILENT".
If you are interested in this wonderful breed, then I will be happy to share with you information about the breed, experience, impressions and love for these wonderful dogs.
If you decide to buy a puppy, we will try to find you a dog that will bring into your home the joy of communication and the pleasant chores of owning it. The puppy will be healthy, with all the necessary documents, in excellent condition. But there are a number of conditions. We do not sell puppies as intended gifts, or with the wording “for a child,” because we believe that a dog cannot serve as a toy, but is purchased for many years, as a full member of the family. And the choice must be made by the owner himself. After all, they will live together for many years and should feel each other.
Most people fall for the advertising - “no smell, no shedding, hypoallergenic, children's best friend.” But this is not so! Any living creature has a smell, allergy sufferers have a reaction to it, and Basenjis shed. But they have a lot of other great benefits!
As far as possible, I will try to publish materials, photographs, and my own observations about this wonderful breed. And of course we will expand the photo gallery to the best of our ability.
At the moment, on the site you can:
— see the list of puppies for sale and reserve a puppy
— get acquainted with our champion dogs
— see the nicknames of our dogs from the beginning of the creation of the kennel — get acquainted with the breed standard
— read some material about the Basenji breed
— see a photo gallery of puppies from many litters (from birth to 2-3 months of age)
— learn about dogs from the African Silent Kennel.
— read articles about feeding
— find articles related to health
Material is being prepared about childbirth and the growing period, based on our own experience and supported by photographs, throughout this interesting and responsible period.
I hope that you will find something interesting for yourself here.
Sincerely, Belonina Marina Valentinovna.

Care and maintenance
Caring for the puppy is quite simple, due to the short hair and the absence of the characteristic dog smell, even when the puppy’s fur is wet. It needs to be brushed 2-3 times a week with a special glove or brush for smooth-haired dogs.
Basenji puppy
It is often not necessary to bathe a dog twice a year; this does not apply to walks in rainy weather. For bathing, it is better to use a special shampoo for sensitive skin of dogs. Ears and eyes should be examined daily
Walking the African silent bird is a separate column. The Basenji dog is active and full of energy, therefore, from an early age and requires frequent walks in the fresh air at least twice a day for at least 1.5 hours.
The puppy should not be let off the leash on the roadway or near roads, as they are not afraid of cars and can throw themselves under the wheels. You should walk in a specially designated area for dogs with a spacious area for running.
After all, the breed of this dog requires an active lifestyle and constant movement. Without running and walking, your dog may get sick. Therefore, before buying a puppy, you should think about whether you can devote that much time to walking.
Also, when keeping a Basenji, it is worth noting its love of freedom and independence. In this they are similar to cats. They are not amenable to training and can react aggressively to attempts. Owners often encounter dogs escaping and apartments being destroyed. This happens when there is a lack of attention and walks on the part of the dog owner.
Before purchasing a puppy, you should purchase all the attributes it needs. The sleeping place should be allocated separately, you should buy shampoos and brushes, a leash and toys for dogs, as well as a bowl for food and water.

Nutrition
When it comes to nutrition, Basenjis are not much different from their relatives. The only thing you need to decide in advance is dry food or regular food. Because they cannot be combined. If you choose dry food, then only the highest category.
If the food is natural, then it should contain vitamins and minerals in moderation. The dog should not be overfed, otherwise it will be difficult for him to carry out daily runs. It’s also worth monitoring whether she has enough food; if the ribs stick out, it means the dog is hungry.
When eating natural foods, the diet must include:
- Lean veal or lamb
- Vegetables and fruits
- Milk or water based porridge
- Dairy products
- Filtered water
While the Basenji is still a puppy, he should be given foods enriched with vitamins, such as cottage cheese, cereals and dairy products. Don't forget about meat and fish in small quantities. It is also worth including vegetables and greens in your puppy’s diet.
You can give your dog a hard-boiled egg once or twice a week. Buckwheat, rice and wheat porridges in water without salt and spices are allowed; you can add a piece of butter for shiny coat.
An adult dog can do the same as a puppy, but increase the dosage of meat and include fresh beef, veal or pork in the diet, but in small quantities. Chicken is allowed in the diet, but you should make sure that the dog does not have allergies.
They love bananas, apples and watermelons. It is strictly forbidden to feed the dog from your table, as they cannot eat salty, spicy or sweet foods. Plus, the dog will remember this and will steal food every time you are not in the kitchen.
Possible diseases
African Basenjis live an average of 13 years. But, like many breeds of small dogs, they often develop various diseases. Some of them are transmitted genetically through pedigree, some as a result of poor nutrition and lack of vitamins in the body.

The main diseases of this breed:
- Liver and kidney diseases. A fairly common phenomenon, characterized by frequent urination and does not appear in the early stages. If not treated in a timely manner, it is fatal and requires treatment for the entire life of the dog, as it is not curable.
- Digestive diseases such as gastritis and enteritis. Gastritis occurs when the puppy’s owner chooses the wrong diet.
- Eye diseases - retinal atrophy due to insufficient hygiene - a disease leading to blindness. Corneal thorn. Corneal dystrophy. Cataract
- Urolithiasis disease
- Diseases of skin tissue, such as inguinal and umbilical hernia. A fairly common occurrence that does not require surgical intervention if there are no complications.
- Diabetes. It is quite rare among Basenjis, but is inherited.
- Skeletal diseases - dwarfism, hip dysplasia, calcinosis.
In order for a dog to live a long, happy life, the owner must take care of his health. It is necessary to undergo monthly examinations and urine and blood tests. And also, do not forget to get all age-appropriate vaccinations indicated in your passport.
