Basenjis
Basenjis (22-24 pounds) are independent, clever, and cat-like, ideal for attentive owners. They’re good with older kids but may be aloof with toddlers. Moderate exercise (1 hour daily, walks or play) fits their lean frame; their short coat needs minimal brushing.
Feed 1-1.5 cups daily of Hill’s Science Diet Adult Small & Mini Chicken Recipe, with 23% protein for their agility. Small meals prevent obesity. Primarily indoor dogs, they adapt to apartments with exercise but enjoy secure yards.
Training curbs barking (they yodel) and escaping. Suited for owners seeking a quiet, low-grooming dog, Basenjis aren’t for those needing highly affectionate or easily trained pets.
