Basenji on a unisex heavy cotton pullover hoodie, 80/20 fleece, for the family that knows the baroo. On it, the A Life Well Lived Basenji mark: tall listening ears, sculpted muzzle, obsidian eyes in bold negative space, in black.
The hoodie is the piece that gets borrowed and not returned: medium-heavy fleece, a three-panel hood, ribbed cuffs and waistband. Buy one for the cold morning and one for the person who will take it.
The Basenji is an ancient, barkless hunting dog from central Africa, bred along forest paths and river edges where silence was a skill. Its unusually shaped larynx produces a yodel, the famous baroo, instead of a bark. Genomic studies place it among the most basal of all dog breeds; the traditional link to the hounds of ancient Egypt remains unproven, but the breed's deep age is not. Dogs of this type were shown in England as early as 1895, lasting foundation stock arrived in the late 1930s, and the breed was accepted in America in 1943.
Basenji people will tell you the breed is built from small things: the way they groom like cats, the tidy paws, the sudden burst of speed, the head tilt that says they understood you and decided to negotiate. A typical Basenji stands 16 to 17 inches in chestnut red, black, tricolor or brindle. Our mark is a tribute to the breed's geometry, tall listening ears, a clean sculpted muzzle and eyes like polished obsidian, drawn in bold negative space so it stays crisp on embroidery and small prints. The collection is called A Life Well Lived, for one basenji in particular.
