Shetseji
The Shetseji is a lively, alert little companion that blends the Shetland Sheepdog’s devotion and herding instinct with the Basenji’s sleek independence and athletic grace. Expect a clever, affectionate dog that bonds closely with family, enjoys active play, and is usually polite with other dogs, though it may be a bit reserved with strangers and not overly vocal.
