Hi! Elizabeth here - I wanted to tell you some things about basenjis.
Among its many practical functions in Africa, the basenji was used to hunt the
reed rat, a vicious long-toothed animal weighing 12-20 pounds. The basenjis
silent manner of working proved a great asset. Basenjis also have wonderful
noses and can scent at a distance of 80 yards. The value placed on basenjis
by African natives was high indeed, for they not only hunted antelope and
a large species of reed rat but they also were capable of driving large game.
Their worth was more than 20 times the value of a spear.
