Basenji

Hailing from Africa, the Basenji was used to chase small game into hunter's nets as well as control the rodent population in villages. A true sight hound, the Basenji will run after just about anything that moves, especially cars. Their high prey drive may cause them to chase small animals and should be taken into consideration if there are other pets in the home. They are highly affectionate but also quite independent and usually prefer to give affection on their own terms.
