ALL ABOUT BASENJI THE AFRICAN BARKLESS DOG 

I'm glad her children made great pets for her dogs.

My basenji lived til’ 16, he passed away only 3 weeks ago, but he was the best friend I could have ever owned.

Sadly, Carol passed away yesterday, 10/21/22. We honor her and will miss her so very much. 😪

This lady is very knowledgeable, and makes this one of the better informative videos you've done. Keep up the good work.

Best dog I've ever owned. Smart alert loyal fearless spotlessly clean and a very good judge of character. Better than most people actually. Thanks for the vid

I love this lady's honesty! No sugar-coating the facts. Wonderful.

I own a. Besenji these dogs are problem solving smart, when you look at them they look back at you with purpose.

I was in Africa for a month. Tanzania and in the village were many a hungry animal. I had a small Basenji type dog following me and sleeping by my tent at night. I never let her but I did feed her. She broke my heart and I wanted to bring her home.

The lady seems to truly know and understand Basenjis. What she has shared in the video from so many years of experience is completely invaluable. I loved the way she said, "They make good pets for the dogs..." and shook her head.

I didn't know much about that breed, really enjoyed the video and it was informative. It's was amazing at her age how sharp she was!

What a charming woman.

We got our girl B from Carol Webb. She flew to Hamilton, MT to visit her friend Carol and I drove from Kalispell to pick her up and she is such a joy to our family. LOVE LOVE LOVE my Basenjis!

Wow... I am in Africa. The very first dog I owned as a child was a cross breed between basenji, terrier and the German shepherd. The dog lived to about 13 years and just mysteriously went missing. We never saw it die. The Vet just told me the dog was a cross between terrier and German shepherd. The Vet never mentioned that is was also part basenji. Now I've seen this video and found the missing part of the puzzle. Thank you so much for this video.

I have five sons ... and they make good pets for the dogs lol

I am very apprehensive about owning a Basenji, but it is probably at the top of my list of dogs I've researched that suits most of my requirements for a companion. This lady has instilled in me more confidence about being a proper owner of the breed. I understand the time and effort needed not only for this breed but most breeds to mold them into a good companion.

The Basenji was the favorite breed of my childhood. I would always search for them in breed books, I always wore my Basenji T-shirt, and I sometimes fantasized about owning a Basenji named Benji (I knew it was a cliché name back then, too). I'm now 26 and still haven't owned one, but it will happen later, when I have my own land and can have as many dogs as I want.

Our first Basenjii was definitely snappy. He loved the family, but would not allow any other children around out son as he considered him in his pack. I generally had to have the alpha male discussion with him about every 3 months. When he got older, he had a couple of strokes and calmed way down. Lived to 17 and died in my arms. Our current guy is the sweetest dog I've ever had in my life. He fits the description this wonderful lady describes. On our daily walks, he wants to investigate EVERYTHING and EVERYONE. Unfortunately he does not like other dogs. He will go up to them as if he is totally friendly, then snap at them.

I rescued a Basenji-mix puppy. She was wonderful. Very nice demeanor.

Yes!!! Thank you! Most of the info on basenjis is so generic and comes from people who've never owned them. Beautiful dog. This is one of the best channels on YT

There is honestly no way to describe the experience that is owning & bonding with a Basenji. Rescuing a Basenji was one of the greatest experiences of my Mother and I’s lives, and it completely changed our perspective on what a dog could be. It sounds cliche, but there are TRULY no other dogs like a Basenji, and no good way to describe their massive wit and personalities. I have a million stories/memories of our Sadie Lady and I miss her every day. Once you have had a Basenji every other dog falls ever so slightly short.

"They make good pets for the dogs...for the children!" Basenji: 😏😏😏

I've got a Besenji mix and this wonderful lady has described my boy to a t

When she mentioned that they are challenging and snippy, I was waiting for that comment! I work at a dog daycare and the one Basenji I have met is extremely snippy and bites people when we try to bathe her. 😆😆

My dad was in the peace corps in Cameroon and loved these dogs while he was there, they'd run with him when he was on his motorcycle and he thought they were the coolest dogs ever. Where he was they put bells on their collars since they're so quiet most of the time. The fact that they're so ancient is so fascinating. I thnk when she says Coyote she probably means Jackal though, since Coyote do not live there historically. Also, screw the AKC, if the dogs are having those types of health issues, bring in more dogs, get that gene pool broadened, make sure those dogs are healthy. AKC shouldn't have any say in if you can make the dogs healthier. the dog's health matters more than the aesthetics. also, my Dad never ran into the snapping problem, in rural Cameroon they just treated them like normal dogs.

I have the basenji on my short list of first dogs. This was so informative. ❤

I had my lady ginger snaps for 13 years...i miss her soo much...she was red and white...best dog ever

Thank you so much for interviewing Carol! She is a fountain of knowledge on our beloved breed. Excellent work as always!

I love basenji Africa

what a wonderful lady. im glad you picked her to do this interview

I have found the dog I want. This is such a beautiful dog

Always nice and helpful to hear the opinion of a professional. Thanks.

Love Basenjis!!!

...I have lived with 3 Basenjis (2 brothers and one rescue) and could not imagine living with any other breed. It is the most inspirational and rewarding beings to be around, even though the level of collateral damage (shoes, books, socks) can come as a surprise. :)

Love it THIS is how all breeders should be like knowing the history and temperament of the dog's there breeding very interesting smart lady 👍thanks 😀

Quite informative! I especially enjoyed the freudian slip at the end - “They make great pets for the dogs”.

I had two Basenjis , unfortunately they both passed away a few months apart . Both were 16 years old . I miss them so much . Watching this video brought tears , I miss my babies so much .

Thank you for these wonderful videos! You're doing a great job!♡

Got one from Norway in 1977. It was not a beginners breed! Could be nice and gentle but also very sharp and quick to bite.

I love how she honestly she portrays this breed!

Good to see a video on these awesome dogs, probably my fourth favorite dog breed 💪🔥. another great dogumentary, dogumentaryTv👍

You can tell they are really smart

basenjis are crazy they are awesome but these have to be some of the most fearless dogs. mine was attacked by two shar peis and my basenji got one of them by the throat and had it on its back it was crazy and the other one ran off. they’re very territorial in my experience and they like their space, they also seem to be on alert all the time. basenjis are savages but they are so cool.

This is one of the most knowledgeable owners of any breed I have ever met. She makes someone like me who has a background in animal rescue genuinely respect knowledgeable breeders. Thank you for this video and all of your knowledge.

As a kid w had about 3 Basenjis. The cops came by a few time to investigate if their was child abuse cause of our Basenjis being left alone screaming sometimes sounding like kids screaming, they just don't like being left alone!

I did a DNA test on my pup and found out he's mostly basenji. I'd never heard of the bread until now. Very cool to learn about

Thank you Zeke, your work here is awesome.

It’s hard to find any videos on Basenji’s, thank you for the amazing content!!

I've never seen this breed before. But I'm in love already! so elegant

What a wonderful documentary. Carol, I could have listened to you until the cows come home, and I would have sent them back out again so I could listen to you some more. Your knowledge of this breed is phenomenal and I hung on every word, bur your pure charm as a lovely lady just won my heart. The joy in your eyes and the trill in your voice as you told us all about your beloved breed just wrapped your arms around us and held this person spellbound. Thank you so much for just being you Carol. I wish you rainbows.

Great video! Really interesting and smart lady. It's great to see her still involved in the breed and able to share her knowledge (even after having had a stroke). Thank you for making this available on RU-vid!

thank you so much! I love primitive breeds! "They made great pets for the dogs," hahahhaa, this lady is awesome- so much experience and that aside made me laugh. Great video

Thank you for all the effort that goes into every video! Regardless of the breed they’re always so enjoyable :’) truly the best produced breed documentaries on RU-vid, def gonna be supporting your future vids via patreon as soon as I’m able!

“We’ve taken a lot of the basenji out of the basenji” I’m afraid mine still has a little bit too much basenji 😂

This lady is so knowledgeable! What a great detailed video.

This is good to know, since I plan on getting one when I’m older

I have one Basenji. ❤️

My first dog as a kid was a Basenji. Very interesting, unique, and super challenging - but I made such a bond with him and it really left such a lasting impression on me. Very communicative dogs. I'd say they are relatively like Pit Bull Terriers, but Basenjis are definitely more "snappy."

Fantastic information that I would never find in all the books and videos regarding Basenjis.

What a nice lady. Finally some real information that I can use. Manny thx.

This lady is fabulous-knowledgeable, kind, funny, and a great resource for those interested in Basenjis.

I love this lady.

Very well produced documentary! Very nice to see. The puppies are so cute! I am a Basenji-owner myself! (for the first time).

A lot of what she said fits my basenji perfectly, lady knows her stuff.

I've had three of them. Great dogs but they are high energy and will chew your house up if given a chance. lol

Such magnificent creatures, I have been drawn to this dog breed moment I saw it the first time in my life. Such a dedication she put into them, bravo:-)

I love that worried expression they possess.Basenjs are incredibly cute.☺️

After watching Carol's video I had a lump in my throat. Our last tri-color Basenji "Whisper" was bought for my son after we lost our first one to, I believe, a coyote while living in the rural country. He was entering his teens so she became my dog though she slept on his bed. After he went to school and the wife went to work and the house was quiet, I would softly start to howl. After a couple she would answer a little louder. Back and forth we'd go until I could scream no louder, and she'd come running down the hall to see if I was OK. She would actually invent little games for me to play with her. She was 11 when she started to pee in the house and became thirsty all the time. The last time I cried so much and so hard was when my first dog was ran over at 14 when I was 16. The vet said the tests showed she had Canine Crushing s. The treatment was very costly and I was just diagnosed with severe non-military PTSD and could not work. The vet explained that her "accidents" caused her more stress for the breed and it was decided to put her down. Once-in-a-while I will put "Rocky", a realistic raccoon hand puppet on and remember the battles my little girl had with it. After more that 10 years I still miss her terribly, but I live alone now and I can't bear the thought of another pet dying on me. KL

Ah I'm so happy you made this!! I've been in love with this breed for so long and really would like one in the future!

I love the lady who’s teaching us about the basenji. She knows a lot about the breed and she’s very sweet

Keep this breed going! They are magnificently beautiful!

The ending was amazing 😂. A very helpful video!

The Best of The Best Comes from Africa. Dogs ,Diamonds,Gold,Hemp ... need I go on... #Africa is America’s Main Source

I've seen an injured basenji run into two wild lions and defends itself. Incredibly brave dog.

Love Carol Webb's sincerity! The ending was hilarious!

Lots of great info! Thanks!

ONE OF MY FAVORITE BREEDS!! Have had two☺️☺️☺️🐕

My first basenji had Fanconi. She was diagnosed at 7 and lived another four years. She was the best pup ever.

i have a Basenji X chow, what a beautiful dog. She yodals and barks. She was a stray and a friend gave her to me. she loves people and other animals. I have never seen her aggressive! I adore her to bits. 🐶🐶🐶🐶💞💕❤❤❤

I had the Honor of having a red basenji from Rita Webb. Though he died this year from old age, they are the best type of dog to have for patient people. Non agressive, and mines was very very loving. Great show dog qualities! Ate quality food and live'd over 12yrs+

I’ve always wanted a basenji they are so pretty and perfect for my lifestyle

Wow, the woman. she is magnificient. And the basenji dogs

Very informative. Thank you

This is the only video has covered most useful information than wikipedia ❤

Wow those are very beautiful dogs!

Interesting. Thank you.

That dog is so cute

I am a Nigerian and these dogs are common to us, they're considered as dogs with no value at all, I didn't even know it's called a basenji till this day. They're indeed used as hunting dogs till today but because it's very common we didn't really attach any importance to it, such a Petty.

Just saw two at the park. Awesome!

Great knowledgeable women they are a great dog good vid on the great Basenji Dog 👍

Good video taught me alot
