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.

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.

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.

A must for a Basenji owner. The pictures are great, good tool to explain the African history to friends. The historical aspect is the most compelling to me, a good coffee table book unless your Basenji pulls books off the table !

This was a great informational book. There was everything in the book that you wanted to know about Basenjiis. There are also many colored photos of the dogs.

A true wealth of information on the amazing Basenji breed. The book provided a concise history of the dog and its migration to other parts of the world. My only complaint is that the pictures were not in color only b&w. Still worth the purchase price. If you are lucky enough to own a Basenji, buy the book. Thinking about owning a Basenji, buy the book and read another. Basneji's are truly unlike any other dog and deserve a person who knows, accepts and appreciates their distinct differences.

An excellent resource on Basenjis for both the novice and the experienced owner!

I recently bought this book expecting to find out all that wasn't accessible online, only to find that it doesn't really say much. The author owned many basenjis, and knew about as much as I did after a few minutes of google searching the basenji. Check out My Smart Puppy, its a general book but its the only thing that I can say relates to, and has helped me with my basenji, Simone.
