While it can generally be said that Basenjis and water don’t mix, every so often one comes along that is not bothered by it.  Most can easily get used to the occasional bath or learn to swim as a puppy.  What they usually dislike is rain…or the wet grass from rain, or the early morning dew on their precious paws…it’s like poison to them! They will do absolutely anything to avoid going out in the rain to go potty.
