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 Labradoodle

Coats vary from curly low-shedding to shaggy and shedding, needing regular grooming. Best for active homes offering daily exercise and mental stimulation.
