Customer Reviews

Interest in Basengi

This book was well written and gave an overall report that a perspective owner of one of these dogs might need in reaching a conclusion, to purchase or not to purchace. Many misconceptions and new information about this breed is covered.

A must for Basenji owners!

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!

a surprising find

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.

Helpful, informative book for the first time Basenji owner

This book is a keeper for my library. It explained a lot about the quirks, care, mating and whelping of the basenji (we are about to breed with our gorgeous girl). Recommended for those on trainer wheels in the breeding and owning of basenjis.

What You Need to Know Before Buying a Basenji

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.
