Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a miniature Basenji. Basenjis are a purebred dog with a specific breed standard that includes their size and appearance. According to the American Kennel Club (AKC), Basenjis should stand between 16-17 inches at the shoulder and weigh between 22-24 pounds for males, and 21-22 inches and 20-22 pounds for females.

It’s important to note that some unscrupulous breeders may advertise “miniature Basenjis” or other non-standard sizes in order to attract buyers. However, these dogs are not true Basenjis and may not have the same temperament or health as a purebred Basenji.

If you are interested in getting a Basenji, it’s important to work with a reputable breeder who adheres to the breed standard and performs health testing on their breeding dogs. A reputable breeder will be able to provide you with information on the size and appearance of their Basenjis, as well as their temperament and health history.

In summary, there is no such thing as a miniature Basenji, and any breeder advertising such a dog may not be reputable. It’s important to do your research and work with a responsible breeder to ensure you get a healthy and happy Basenji that meets the breed standard.
