List of Popular Basenji Mixes
Basenji is a medium-sized hound known for using both sight and scent to flush small animals into the hunter’s net. Besides being a skilled hunting dog, it makes an affectionate companion and fits best in families with intelligent and active people. Basenji mixes are crossbred dogs where the Basenji makes one of the two parents, with another breed as the second. These dogs are typically smart, energetic, and have a good prey drive, combining these with the personality traits of their other parent.
