G'day again,

Katlaughing: Basenji are certainly different (actually, they are part of the group we tend to think of under the "dingo" grouping ... not particularly domesticated; not possessing a bark (a human-trained trait; with retractable claws and the concommittant ability to climb trees ... fences ... &c.

A friend had one a while back - it played merry hob with his fiddle practice ... he had only to take out that fiddle and check the tuning ... and this damned beast was at his feet, head back and howling as if it was back on the African savannah! I can only assume that the tone of the fiddle resonated with some innate herb image and it was destined to join in.

Regards,

Bob Bolton
