The Basenji, sometimes called the "barkless" dog, originated in Africa and was known in ancient Egypt. Dogs of this breed are gentle and make loyal companions to children. This heavily illustrated book avoids technical language while offering sound advice and reliable information to current and soon-to-be pet owners. Written by animal specialists, veterinarians, and trainers, the titles in this series focus on pets of all kinds--different dog and cat breeds, birds, fish, reptiles, small animals, yard animals, and even exotic pets. All Pet Owner's Manuals are filled with high-quality photos and instructive line art.

What You Need to Know Before Buying a Basenji,
This review is from: Basenjis (Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals) (Paperback)
After 30+ years breeding, showing and now judging the Basenji breed, we were delighted to discover this wonderful book! Basenjis are an unusual breed, and prospective owners need to learn a great deal before they get one. This book puts into words all the things you need to know (and which Basenjis have taught many owners over the years). . . . . We are unfortunately no longer breeding, but do recommend that anyone interested in the breed study this book cover to cover before they purchase a dog.Penny Inan & Sandy Bridges, JATO Basenjis since 1974

A must for Basenji owners!,
By
This review is from: Basenjis (Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals) (Paperback)
Although it is an older book, the tips in it are still extremely useful today. Not only does it give a shortened yet vivid history of the breed but also has vital tips for training. I have begun training my basenji puppy from the steps outlined in this book and he was been doing wonderfully! The pictures are also a really great addition. If you own, are planning to own, or even thinking of owning a basenji be sure to get this book so you know what you're getting into with this unique breed & how to deal after you get one!

This review is from: Basenjis (Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals) (Paperback)
This book, although small is jam packed with the greatest information for basenji owners. It is a great way to introduce the basenji to prospective owners and makes an affordable gift to send home with puppies and their new owners.
