2. Basenji – The Cat-Like Dog

Basenjis are often called the “barkless dog,” but they could just as easily be called the “indifferent dog.” Unlike most breeds, Basenjis are highly independent, stubborn, and often uninterested in forming deep emotional bonds. They are more likely to keep to themselves, explore on their own, and ignore commands—similar to how a cat behaves.
Why they don’t bond well: They are self-sufficient and less emotionally attached to their owners.
Best for: Experienced dog owners who don’t mind a dog that does its own thing.
