    @docgonzo said in Which dog fits me best?: There is no other dog like a Basenji. Nearly every breed from poodles to pit bulls have retained approximately 8% of wolf genetics. Being an “Ancient” and the “daddy” of most Of today’s domesticated breeds, the Basenji retains approximately 24% of the Wolves genetics. A recent study also determined that of all breeds the Basenji has one of the largest “play drives” (You will find this out quickly) which was key and essential to the domestication of all dogs. The Basenji is truly unique genetically and in in temperament. This dog responds quickly to kindness and a soft touch, NOT yelling and physicality. YOU WILL NOT WIN A BATTLE OF WILLS. Adapt & overcome. LOL, This info will come in handy for the next couple of years. Congratulations, amazing animals. So true. Even when life defeats them they revenge themselves. My 13 year old B tried unsuccessfully to jump up on the bed. When she unceremoniously fell off - twice, she turned around and bit the doona before running out of the room.

    @Shaye's: Shaye is from the old Gaelic, and it means independence and courage, which describes my little girl exactly - especially the "independence" part! I really like that! Good choice :) @ Jisgard: beautiful wrinkles! Very nice head in total :)

    @cleopatra: I have to say that the one thing my Basenji has taught me is to pick up after myself!:D Amen to that… that is what I always tell prospective Basenji owners... if nothing else you will learn if it is important you will not leave it laying around!
