When selecting breeding pairs pedigrees are evaluated for temperament, health and characteristics that I feel are needed to maintain the Basenji as it should preserved. I will only use health tested stock in my breeding program and this means eyes, hips and urine are tested as a minimum. Above all the pedigree is checked as far as possible for stable temperaments and as a result my Basenjis make wonderful companions. Basenji puppies are sometimes available and stud dogs are available to approved bitches. Tambuzi Basenji Kennel is a member of the Basenji Club Of  Victoria and the Victorian Canine Association.

Often known as the barkless dog the cat-like Basenji is one of the oldest known dog breeds. Used by the tribes of the Congo, Sudan and various other countries in Africa. From being sold to the Pharaohs of ancient Egypt where they are depicted in artwork and sculptures to his re-discovery in the late 1800's the Basenji is steeped in history. It is a truly magnificent breed.

The Basenji is an all round hound; he has excellent hearing and scenting capabilities, is built for endurance, but can accelerate and move at high speed, he is agile twisting an turning whilst moving, he can jump many times his own height and has the ability to scale wire fences, even trees, with relative ease. The Basenji is an aloof breed that is both elegant and beautiful but at the same time maintaining the strength and substance to allow him to work all day.
