basenji

/bəˈsɛndʒi/
noun
  1. A breed of dog from Central Africa, known for being small, short-haired, and not barking (but making a yodel-like sound).
    • The basenji is often called the 'barkless dog' because it makes a unique yodel instead of a bark.
    • Our basenji loves to climb and explore like a cat.
    • Basenjis are intelligent but can be stubborn, making training a challenge.
