Basenji
About Katsu
Meet Katsu, our energetic and playful Basenji sire! Katsu is the heart and soul of our home, always ready to turn any moment into an adventure. With his boundless curiosity, he’s the first to investigate anything new, whether it’s a rustling leaf, a squeaky toy, or a friendly visitor.
Katsu is a true sweetheart—gentle, loving, and eager to please. He’s a natural entertainer, always finding new ways to make us laugh with his silly antics. When he’s not busy exploring or playing, he loves to snuggle up for some quality cuddle time.
His playful spirit and affectionate nature make him a joy to be around, and we see so much of his wonderful personality shining through in his puppies. Katsu is truly a special part of our family, and we’re so excited to see his sweet traits passed on to the next generation.
