Curly Tailed Wonders,
By
This review is from: Basenji: Dog from the Past (Hardcover)
Basenjis are beautiful African hounds that yodel instead of bark. The exotic breed is known for not shedding, cleaning themselves like cats, laughing and yodeling. Small and lithe, the clean-limbed dogs run like antelopes and glide when they walk. Their foreheads are deeply wrinkled and they have doubly curled tails which ride on their backs. They are indeed unusual.The basenji has a long reaching history. Ancient Egyptians used basenji shaped footstools and featured the exotic hounds in paintings. Anubis, the God of the Underworld was depicted with a basenji head. The dogs were the cherished pets of the noble gentry. In the 1930s, basenjis were imported to Europe, Canada and the United States. They have quite a following and many basenji organizations and publications have sprung up as a nod to this delightful breed of dog.
