n.
African breed of dog that rarely barks
Basenji
The Basenji is a
breed of hunting
dog that originates in central
Africa. It is considered by some, particularly in North America, to be a member of the
sighthound family; most kennel clubs, including the
American Kennel Club and the
Kennel Club of the United Kingdom classify it as a
hound. The Basenji produces an unusual
yodel-like sound, due to its unusually shaped larynx. Although Basenjis do not bark per se, they can mimic sounds, and thus are able to mimic barks if raised among barking dogs. In behavior and temperament they have some traits in common with
cats.
