Not barking, not adapted vocal cords. Issued but other sounds like a yodel, howl growls and whimpers. It is very clean breed, licking his fur, thus washes, like a cat, so no smell. Females are rutting only once a year in autumn.

Nature

It has its own head, so it do not listen to commands, it is smart, needs a human to life. Not suitable in a cage, in cage can hurt himself. It's a little rascal, loves the sun and does not like the cold and the rain. But who needs a dog obedience, he does not deserve Basenji.
