Do basenji dogs have the required aggression to be guard dogs?
A Basenji is not the ideal choice if you want a dog who goes through the door and chases a robber like in a movie. If you want that, you should be aware that a guard dog does not normally act in this manner. Making your Basenji a guard dog may disappoint you, as one of the most significant traits of this breed is its capacity to alert loved ones to a threat through its bark. Unfortunately, this breed lacks the ability to bark.
Basenji is one of the oldest dogs in the world, a breed known to be curious, independent, and affectionate, especially with their owners and members of their human families. Asking if basenjis are good guard dogs, I’m really sorry but no they’re not. They can be extremely vigilant and will provide an alert if outsiders are present. Basenjis are known for having good vision and a keen sense of smell. They can be incredibly protective of their loved ones.
