This compact, finely coated sight hound hails from the Congo, and is known for its lack of a loud bark. While it shares a high degree of intelligence common to many breeds, it doesn’t pair that with a willingness to please owners. Rather, it selectively obeys, based on its needs and desires. This contributes to its other reputation—for stubborn independence.
