Dennis is a happy young boy who has got tons of energy. He is also a very eager yodeler and tailwagger, and has the sweetest and clearest yodels you can imagine. He thinks life is cool, and everyone he meets is being met with joy. It is not a rear sight to see Dennis rubbing up to cuddle with the judges examining him. Trying to win them over by charm, perhaps? He just loves attention and cuddelings, just like his mummy. He loves long walks, and to play with the other dogs in our pack, and he is quite easy going when it comes to other dogs.
He knows what he wants, and wants to have it that way- like most basenjis. He can be a real charmer., and is definatly the coolest little dude we know! He has also got a fascination of water, and  likes to swim if the water is warm ebough.
He is even the first Norwegian Basenji to achieve a lure cuorsing licence!
