But they won’t grow up to be a frisbee dog and you’ll be hard pressed to get most Basenjis to fetch a stick with any reliability. What they will do is chase every squirrel, cat, and rabbit they see, so it’s essential to keep them on leash unless they are in a secure area. There are activities you can enjoy with your Basenji. Visit the Sites of Interest link below to learn about lure coursing, tracking, conformation, obedience, and agility. Basenji Club of America (BCOA) members look forward to meeting you and your new pup at the next event!
