Wonderful Book-Very informative,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Complete Basenji (Hardcover)
My parents got our first Basenji when I was 10 years old, and have owned several since then. So, I was familiar with the breed when my husband and I adopted our first basenji 6 weeks ago. But my husband knew very little about the breed, and wanted to know more. After looking at several books I chose "The Complete Basenji". It is full of historical, confirmation, and medical information about the breed. I would recommend it to anyone who is owned or would like to be owned by a basenji.

This review is from: The Complete Basenji (Hardcover)
I'm owned by 2 Basenjis. This book will gave you insight into the breed. I liked the section "Health Care and Heredity Conditions" which I plan to give to the Vet. Read it carefully if you're considering the breed - it tells you good and bad points. Much of the book is about lineage and criteria for breeds in different countries.

A TRULY BEAUTIFUL, EXOTIC DOG,
By
This review is from: The Complete Basenji (Hardcover)
This book is sure to delight everyone, from people who breed and show basenjis to the owner of the cherished pet. A long established breed originating from Africa, the basenji is indeed a distinctive dog. Basenjis have deeply wrinkled foreheads, double curls in their tails, clean themselves like cats, run like antelopes and yodel instead of bark. They can also shed tears. Basenjis are known for their determination, loyalty to their owners and their keen hunting ability. Their cleanliness, natural beauty and gracefulness make them cherished pets indeed. This book is a good teaching tool for folks who own basenjis, a good resource tool for folks interested in basenjis and certainly a well written wealth of information.
