    Hi guys, im steve and below is my dog buddy, I don't even know if he is part basenji but I really think he is and a few people have suggested the same, I adopted him from the pound almost a year ago when he was 6 months old, they told me he was a jack Russell terrier then but it was hard to tell at that age and I don't think they really cared anyway.. what do you guys think? He CAN bark but he tends not to, He has the curly basenji tail and the long legs, but he looks to have a jack Russell face with the floppy ears.. I've read up a lot on basenji's and they are just a beautiful breed, so I really hope he is as i'd be proud to say my dog is part basenji :)

    @Nancy-Berry The saying is a very true one... when people ask how your dogs are with children, say "It depends.. how are your children with dogs?" Toddler Leora got her little legs smacked more over the dogs than anything. Not training your child to respect dogs, to understand that a hurt dog can and probably will respond, ... well it puts your child and dogs in danger.

    What a sweet face! Thank you for taking her in, she needs a forever home. As Pat indicated, unless you have info on the parents being clear, or at least one clear, she should be tested for Fanconi asap.

    Her name is Mattie and she is a real sweetie. My son brought her home from a mission trip in Appalachia. She has become my shadow and we just can't imagine not having her around.

    Luzambo, I too had one pass last March. After that I was left with one and said once he passed, I was going to be done with dogs – too much of work and emotional strain. Yep, I was going to be free to... well, to do something. Then I found a little girl related to Brie just 2 weeks later and 6 months later I have yet another. Yes, they're a lot of work at times, but so is most everything in life. I love having them around and the house would be often boring otherwise. I'm sure Pharaoh and my Brie are hanging out in their private club looking down on us saying "what are you guys doing down there?" And with a signature like yours, I don't think you'll be waiting long. Welcome to the forum!
