Basenjis were called Devil dogs, because of their
fierce determination used in their hunting skills!
They refused to give up against their prey!
The history of Basenji comes from Egypt. The words
"Anpu" or "Anubis" and the word "Bisu" or "Bes",
The two words together form the translation
Basenji. The forms of Anpu and Bisu were, a black
jackal, the God of death, and a large headed,
Goggled eyed, Bow legged, Bushy tailed dwarf for
Bisu. The two images combined created the portrait
of a Basenji!
In the hunting tribes of Africa, Basenjis are still
used for their hunting skills, and their rank in
the tribes are put above even the wives! They are
often referred to as Congo, Bark-less, Bush master,
and Basenji, and in Egypt as Bisu-Anpu!
