This trait is probably due to the shallow laryngeal ventricle in its larynx. However, the Basenji is certainly not silent and can make a wide variety of other dog noises as well as a unique yodelling sound. One of the most ancient breeds of dogs, Basenjis were once feared extinct until they were rediscovered living among the Azande and Mangbetu tribes from the northeastern Congo region of Africa in 1895. Personality:  Cheerful, affectionate, patient with children.  It is an extremely clean dog without even a hint of bad odor with a quality rare among dogs:  it does not bark!
