I used Wisdom Panel for my assumed Basenji mix. It showed no basenji at all. My boy is 32 lbs and short hair. His DNA says he is 25% American Eskimo 12.5% Boston Terrier 12.5% Chow Chow 12.5% German Shepherd 12.5% Miniature Schnauzer 25% Breed Group-Sporting, Herding, Hound, Terrier. Having owned basenjis all my life I would say my boy has basenji in him by his personality and behavior regardless of what his dna says!!
A Day and Life of a Dog Walker and B
-
When I got Manah I quit my job as a creative director and became a professional dog walker. Yeah, the money isn't as good but it makes Manah very happy to get to walk all day with her favorite dog friends. And as you know, it's all about making the Basenji happy! Here she is walking with her favorite friends, Buster the 3-legged dog and Hunter the Husky, and boy does she have a thing for Huskies! I think she's jealous of their long thick hair, cause it's COLD here in Minnesota!
This is Manah after a long day of walking. Not very comfortable for me, but I don't matter, it's all about her comfort!

Oh yes, it has been cold this winter. Manah looks very happy though.

Fun photos! She looks darling in those booties and her nice warm coat. If you can pay the bills and love your job, you are miles ahead, in my book.

Thanks! I do love my job; no people to deal with which means no stress. Plus I can be with Manah all the time! I love her so.

Great pics!!
You have a great job!!!

It looks so nice!

I love your photos, job and dog! I work in real estate so I have the pleasure of creating my own schedule, which of course is directed around my basenji activities also
CONGRATS on your new Khani's puppy! As a friend of Kathy's I have been regularly visiting the pups since they were born, and will also be welcoming one of this years pups to my home very soon! Little Uzza is gorgeous, and a doll! You are a lucky woman!

Awesome pics!
Manah looks so snug and warm!
And I agree… if it makes you (and Manah) happy, that's the most important thing. -
