Comments: Per owner: Zazi is a well-built normal sized
basenji with a short level back, and a pretty head, but with no
tailcurl. She is a very loving, playful, agile and smart basenji and
VERY energetic. Loves to run around the countryside chasing birds and
game, lying around on the furniture and to cuddle on the
sofa mith me. And she will KILL for food. She does not care much for
strangers (strangers being everyone else but me), to touch her, but she
IS very curious, and will investigate them in a very cautious way. She
will let some strangers close though but not all, and I don´t
allways quite understand her logic. Lately she has started to warm up a
little and is letting strangers touch her, even without food, so she
might end up being a social basenji, who knows? She is not afraid,
though, just cautious. She has a very well developed language both body
and “spoken,” which makes it very easy for her to get
accepted by other dogs. She functions very well with my other 4
basenjis. She yodels quite a lot, both at me, being happy,
and when she finds something interesting. She is really good with other
dogs too and she has also made friends with my parrot. She is quite
obedient, allthough, not if there is game around. She IS a hunter. And
because of that she suffered a multiple-fractured pelvis, when she was
16 months old. My vet was amazed by her very quick recovery, and the
fact that she hardly showed that she was in pain. Today, allmost 2
years later, she is fit and well. After that though she has become more
aware not to get too far away from me, and if on rare occasions, she
does go off after some game, she will be the first to return. And she
LOVES food, and will defend her right to it if necessary.
