Ive heard basenjis are destructive. Are they?
Basenjis, like many breeds, like to chew; in fact, they like to chew on everything and anything…shoes, socks, newspapers, chairs, sofas, rocks, metal fences, mini-blinds, trees, and especially you. Puppy-proofing is very important; as is keeping things out of their reach. Providing plenty of exercise and the right chewy toys for your basenji should help eliminate the need to chew on forbidden objects. Also note that basenji breeders advocate crating the basenji when you are not home.
