Summary
About Basenji
Basenji: small, athletic African hound, 40–43 cm and 9–12 kg, with short coat, curled tail and wrinkled forehead. Often “barkless,” it yodels instead. Clean, independent, intelligent and strong-willed, it needs patient positive training, secure fencing, and regular mental and physical exercise.
About Cavapoo
The Cavapoo is a small, affectionate Cavalier–Poodle cross (about 6–11 kg) with a soft, often low‑shedding coat needing frequent brushing and regular grooming. Friendly, playful, and trainable, it suits varied homes but dislikes long periods alone and needs daily walks and company.
