The Basenji originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo as a hunting dog. The breed has several unique features, including its short, thin fur and its unusual yodel-like bark. Often called a bark-less dog, the Basenji’s muffled vocalizations are due to its uncommon larynx shape. These dogs have endearing pointed ears and short, curly tails, and though they prefer warm weather they can enjoy the cold as long as they stay active. The Basenji is not the best choice for a multi-pet, multi-species household, but it can be trained to socialize positively with other dogs.

Michigan is a fun place to own a dog, thanks to all kinds of dog-friendly eateries, hotels, businesses and leisure spots. Go hiking, take a tour, get something to eat and go camping together with your dog—and bring family and friends too, if you want. Dog lovers in Michigan prefer Labrador Retrievers, German Shepherds and Golden Retrievers over most other breeds, but there’s plenty of variety in the state’s more than 2 million pet dogs. About 35 percent of households in this state have at least one dog, compared with 31 percent who have at least one cat.
