Wondering if they're really basenji mix..

Basenji Talk
  • @Patty:

    Antialoops - like Andrea I was only passing on information - it was a good question. I hope I didn't sound corrective - I certainly didn't mean to!

    It is an interesting debate and there is quite a lot written about the Basenji that isn't entirely accurate. Feeling about Basenjis and their origins as I do I'm always interested in other's opinions and thoughts. My apologies if I sounded otherwise

    Keep posting. It's interesting to hear and see the pictures of your dogs and their characteristics.

    I do have a small pic of her with her big brother Moose. Hope ou can see it clearly. There's no mistaking she's a Basenji. I've wanted a Basenji sinceI was about 12! I got her 2 yars ago, some 48 years later & she is everything & more than I hoped for!

  • The picture was missing! Hope you manage to post it again, I'm very interested.

    You've certainly held on to your childhood dream! I'm really happy for you.

  • I keep getting an error message but I'll try again! Thanks for asking! I do love talking about them & showing them off! I'll try to start an album…

  • Maybe this will work

  • She is beautiful! And the others too!

  • Maxx could also make a "boof." He rarely did it, and when he did, it was usually because people were standing around talking among themselves and not paying any attention to him! It was simply his way of saying, "Hey, did you forget about the Basenji down here?"

  • Thanks for admiring my dogs! The Lab mix & Dalmation mix have crossed to the Rainbow Bridge to wait for me. Moose & Nala are the only 2 I have left now. They are an AWESOME duo! Nobody messes with Nala that doesn't answer to "the Moose" LOL They told me when I adopted her that her best friend was a pit bull. I think she sucks up to the "muscle" She is certainly not stupid! Very opportunistic as well!

  • @DebraDownSouth:

    That said, Cara boofs a lot. A whole lot. She likes to boof. Boof…............... boof......... boof. It is almost like she is trying to teach the neighbors barking dogs that they do it WRONG with that woofwoofwoof nonsense. :)

    Debra, this is SO funny… it's kind of like me calling you Debbie and you thinking... No way, Patricia! :) :rolleyes: :p :)

    I think your next career should start as a basenji paw reader, lol... you know, like a palm reader? Because whenever my first girl, Lucy, said Woof!... she looked as startled as we were! :) :D :)

  • @antalioops:

    Okay, I didn't mean to offend anyone. Nala has let out a "bark like" noise once or twice. 1 noise. Not a woofwoofwoof… I don't think she spelled it with a "w" or a "b". I read the selective breeding thing somewhere on the internet. I'm sure we here in the USA are not the only ones to breed for certain characteristics. I'm also pretty sure it wasn't just for the noises. Unlike hunting here with Braking & baying dogs, the game there is quite different. I just wanted to share something I read. Didn't intend to start a debate or argument. I'm a little sorry I shared at all

    Hey there, first off, Welcome to the forum! Don't be sorry you shared…. for like you said, po-tay-to, po-tah-to... your Nala is absolutely adorable! And in my opinion, basenjis will tease us with their capability to "roo", as many here call it! My Sophie will only Roo when SHE feels like it, and then, she will be telling the story of her day... versus my Lola, who I think can Roo, but has decided not to share... yet... :) :D

    Anyway, Welcome! :) My sister lives in Milwaukee with two basenjis, so if you ever want more playmates for Nala....

    I am no expert but I looked at the photo before reading your post and I thought it was one. The classic white shoulders, upright ears, pointed nose and shape of face....I agree a profile view would add but it would not be hard to convince me this dog has some basenji genes.
  • I have ''issues'' with my basenji, can you help ?

    Ladybasenji, where are you in Quebec? Montreal? We have a place in Gatineau (Aylmer sector) and one of my dogs might even be related to yours. You're experiences with your girl remind me so much of my first basenji, about 20 years ago–it gets easier, I swear! Let me know if you'd like help with Lady--they're nothing like labs and will never be "obedient" but there are tricks for training them : D

    They may not be very familiar with breeds. I agree with Robyn he looks all Rat Terrier to me. Keep in mind that the Rat Terrier breed does have some basenji blood in it and some have a strong resemblance to basenjis.

    I recently got a Basenji mix. I am not sure exactly what she is mixed with though. She is about 40lbs, but looks almost 100% Basenji. She is very powerful and a little broad chested. I am lucky with her though. She exhibits all the great characteristics of a Basenji, but almost none of the bad ones. :)
