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 Romanian Mioritic Shepherd Dog
Large, powerful livestock guardian from Romania’s Carpathians, with a robust build and long, dense, shaggy coat. Calm and devoted with family but reserved with strangers, it is independent, strongly territorial, needs early socialisation, firm fair training, space, and experienced ownership.
