Do you consider getting a Basenji or Shiba Inu? Find out everything about the differences and similarities of both dog breeds.
___________________________________
Used as hunting dogs in the past, both the Basenji and Shiba Inu are great working dogs that love to be with their family. These two breeds have a lot in common but there are also some differences that help you to distinguish them. Divided into 8 topics I teach you a bunch of useful information about both breeds so you can decide which one will better suit to you.
Today I compare origin, personality, appearance, trainability, time investment, best home, health, costs

Holy fuck this is the two breeds I want the most but won't get because I need a dog I can trust off leash.
i think for me a basenji
i am planning on getting a dog by next month… i’m not sure which breed to get as i live in a rather warm country in an apartment. i decided on a couple of dog breeds but i’m not sure which one duo my lifestyle best. anyone with experience please advise
My moms bf has a basenji and it was 15 years old when it died they live up to 16 years the most and they cost 3,000 he said and the other dog was 5,000 or 10,000
I love them both! We have a female Shiba Inu and one of her best playmates is a basenji. They both are remarkable dogs. With allot of the same characteristics, but shibas are far more loyal.. great example if a dog which she doesn't know touches me she will go crazy. Doesn't matter how big the dog is, she will scream so loud (the shiba scream) that it hurt the ears so they back off.
I have had 4 Benji and love love them my daughter in law didnt after one ate her shoes go figure
i have owned 4 Shiba inus and lover the bread
You did not mention the grooming differences and temperature tolerances that the very different coats of the two breeds present. The Basenji’s short coat and cat-like self-grooming make its coat very easy to care for. However, the short thinner coat and small percentage of body fat makes it mandatory that they wear sweaters or dog coats when spending time outdoors in winter weather. Booties may also be needed if walking on snow or ice. The Shiba Inu’s thicker coat would seem to be more tolerant of colder weather, but would also require more maintenence.
I had a Basenji and I love them I wished I could have about three more
I had a Basenji he past away last year he was the best dog I have owed . I am looking for a black and white Basenji just like him, he was my best friend he went every were I went he was smart alert Agile he was the smartest dog the best dog 🐕 he was my baby.

I have a Shiba Inu and I want to get a Basenji as well. Both beautiful dogs that are the perfect size.
i whas walking with my friends Basenji and we let it go and he jumped in a bush and came with a goose in his mouth to us
Basenji is best dog!!!!
I had a Basenji for over 15 years. He was a very precious little soul and very affectionate and playful. I liked that he didn’t require grooming other than a brushing a couple times a week. And that he wasn’t noisy at all. I will get another after I retire.
So me and my family decided on the basenji due to its perfect size and Less shedding and barking. I do have to wait a year and couple months until my bday but It’s already been a couple months but am dearly excited.
I had a shiba inu for 13 years. She was very quiet and it was like pulling teeth to get her to bark. If she saw something outside, she’d howl bark. The shedding of the undercoat was a pain two times a year but I found a good solution. Instead of brushing several times daily and creating flying hair, I’d wait a bit and keep an eye on how her coat looked. When it starts coming out to the point that she looked like she had mange or something, I’d give her a bath. Get a cup to put hair that collects around the drain in and wash with shampoo, comb while shampoo is in the hair and then rinse. I’d do that twice and then use conditioner on her to get the rest of the hair to rinse out. After that she’d run around the house like a maniac. I’d call it her spin dry! This was the best way I found to deal with that undercoat as brushing just seemed to cause the hair to multiply. I’d do this twice a year. My shiba was very agile and used to bully around 3 Saint Bernards. They could never catch her. 😂 she would nip at their hind quarters to get them to chase her and then she’d run away. she listen when other people in the family would give her commands but lazily. When I trained her, I would snap my fingers as I would give commands to get her attention. This worked great as I could snap my fingers and point to the ground and she would hear the snap, look at me, see the gesture and sit without having to break a conversation with another person. When she was outside, I’d never have to yell for her. I’d just extend my had out of the back door and snap my fingers and she’d come running. Due to this, I was her alpha and she would listen to me over all others and if I was out of view and she was awake, I would always see her peering around the corner to see what I was doing. She would even follow me into the bathroom. All dogs have their own personalities just like people. All the bad things you hear about shiba inus is because of the trainer. If you are consistent and the alpha, shibas are great dogs. If you trip up on that consistency even once, you ruin that task/chore forever. I would never let my dog on the couch. She never went on it even when I wasn’t home. One day my wife let her on the couch and that was ruined forever. It was changed from “no couch” to “I now understand that I’m not allowed on the couch when daddy is around!” I’m thinking about a basenji now because of the similarities and less hair.
I’m allergic to dog fur so I pick basenji
You cant compare talk about Basenjis without mentioning they are barkless dogs Vs. The Shiba Inu which barks and yells a lottt.. Also, you didnt touch on "Shedding" at all when the Basenji sheds zero Vs. Shiba sheds several coats a year. Also, Basenjis have no dog smell or odor, even cleaner than Shiba, yet you mention Shiba cleanliness and not Basenji. Otherwise, good video.
I have a dog who was found on the streets by her old owner, escaped and ended up at my doorstep, the old owner let me keep her. I looked up dogs with her characteristics and found the basenji looked and had her personality the most, but something was missing. For one she definitely yodeled and made other noises, but she can bark, and the colors were off, so I kept searching. Then I saw a picture of a basenji-inu mix and looked up more information on it. I think I found my dogs breed. 😅
Basenji for me!
