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 Cesky Terrier
Compact Czech hunting and family terrier with a sturdy, low body and long, silky clipped coat. Calm yet playful, typically good with children and dogs when well socialised. Intelligent and sensitive, needs regular exercise, training, and grooming. Still relatively rare outside its homeland.
