♥ FOR THE BEAUTIFULLY BASENJI-OBSESSED
Small dog.
Big character.
Endless love.
A curious soul. A curly tail. A mind of their own.
Welcome to life with a Basenji.
For the already-in-love.
And the just-a-little-curious.
THE TWO WHO STARTED IT ALL
Meet Benji.
Meet Bella.
We're Mikkel and Lina, and these are our Basenjis. Benji is the tricolour one; Bella is red-and-white. This little corner of the internet starts with our love for them.
A few moments from their world
THE BASENJI JOURNAL
A little understanding.
A lot to love.
The quirks, the questions, and the everyday.
A thoughtful place to get started.
A small dog. A very big personality.
The curled tail, the curious mind, the famously unexpected voice. Start here.
Life with a little independent thinker.
A thoughtful starting point for routines, play, and getting to know each other.
Before the first day home.
The conversations, preparation, and questions that are worth making time for.
A LOVE LETTER TO THE LITTLE DETAILS
Barkless?
Yes. Boring? Never.
Basenjis have their own way of being heard. That famous voice is just the beginning of getting to know them.
Meet your next obsession
A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS
