In this updated treatise about a breed new to this country, the author takes us on a long and intriguing journey into the dark continent of Africa where the Basenji was discovered and then brought to England to take its rightful place among the recognized breeds of the world.

A good resource on the breed for breeders,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Basenji : Out of Africa to You, A New Look (The Pure-Bred Series) (Hardcover)
I bought this book because I thought it would give me more of the day to day sense of what my life would be like with a Basenji, but really, I found it to be more geared for people who are into breeding and showing more so than for just us pet people. The history information was a nice addition, though.

This review is from: The Basenji : Out of Africa to You, A New Look (The Pure-Bred Series) (Hardcover)
I bought this book while I was researching breeds, and because of it my decision is made!Susan Coe does an excellent job of offering a complete overveiw of the basenji--not just the good stuff, but some of the trials and tribualtions of them as well. She included a history of the breed and their introduction to America as well as things to consider before breeding your pet. The book is a wonderful addition to the basenji fancier's library.

This review is from: The Basenji : Out of Africa to You, A New Look (The Pure-Bred Series) (Hardcover)
I have read many books on the Basenji. This is the most comprehensive. If you were to buy only one basenji book, this is the one.
