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 Large Münsterländer
Medium–large, athletic German gundog with a distinctive black‑and‑white, ticked coat. Intelligent, people‑oriented and affectionate, yet independent with strong hunting and prey drive. Needs experienced, active owners, plenty of daily exercise, training and mental stimulation to stay content.
