The Basenji has a short, smooth coat with white feet, a white chest, and a white tail tip. Other colors include black, rich red (chestnut), multicolor (black and chestnut), and pattern (black hues on a chestnut brown background). He might also wear white on his paws, a white blaze between his eyes in the middle of his face, or even a white collar on his neck. His dominant hue will always be more noticeable than the white color. His marks are distinct and never appear muddy.
The Basenji maintains a highly tidy appearance and grooms himself in a cat-like fashion. He should only require bathing once every quarter or so. All dogs shed, including Basenjis, but since their fur is just so thin and short it isn't as visible as the shedding of other breeds of dogs.
To get rid of plaque growth and the germs that lie inside it, clean your Basenji's molars at minimum twice or three times every week. Even better than twice-daily brushing is the prevention of foul breath and gum disease.
Excessive hair loss or other skin and
hair coat issues should be brought to the attention of your veterinarians
