Parents are health tested and incredibly sweet dogs ️. youtu.be/uG8Hcn9Hwik?si=YqmHTbLlXoMM_4dN The Basenji is one of (if not THE) oldest breeds in the world. They originate from the wild dogs of the African jungle, known as Congo Dogs. However, they have been domesticated for over 2000 years. There are pictures of Basenji-like dogs from ancient Egypt! They are an extremely unique breed, and not common in the United States. This is partly because, unlike other domestic dog breeds, Basenji females usually only have 1 litter a year, always around October-December (similar to wild dogs like coyotes). ​ Basenjis are very regal and proper in how they carry themselves. They are fun-loving and entertaining goof balls, sometimes, as well. They literally can't bark, and while they do make some extremely fun noises like howls and purrs, they are quiet-natured and only talk when they have a good reason to. They are clean and tidy naturally, with very little to no doggy odor. They clean themselves like a cat - and try to avoid getting dirty in the first place. They are easy to potty train. While they are extremely keen & intelligent, they are often above performing pointless tricks... unless there is a treat involved! They tend to ask, what's in it for me? before choosing to obey. Also, while they love their family and know who their pack is, they also love to run and explore, and will follow their nose & sight to go inspect things they are curious about, and they are a very curious breed! This causes them to play deaf when you're calling them back to you. Thus, they are a breed that should always either be on a leash or have a well-trained recall enforced with an electric collar. Thus, by crossing them with one of the most intelligent, trainable, cuddly breeds in the world, the Sheltie, the pups maintain the awesome basenji traits, but in a easier to manage, trainable, obedient, personable package :) See Less
