Carol Webb has been involved with the Basenji since 1962. Her love and devotion to the breed is unparalleled. She has seen the breed develop from a landrace to a pure breed dog. She has seen the early Basenji who were quite sharp and aloof change into a gregarious and loving companion.

The Fédération Cynologique Internationale places the breed in group five, spitz and primitive types, and the United Kennel Club (US) places the breed in the Sighthound & Pariah Group.
