Considered to be one of the most ancient and prehistoric canines, the Basenji's origins date back thousands of years to central Africa and are often depicted on the walls inside the tombs of ancient Egyptians. The earlier African tribes actually bred them to be pack hunters so they would drive smaller game into hidden traps. They make excellent pets and they love to play. However, they need to be attended to on a regular basis so a lot of patience is required of the owner.
