My Clown Dog Hollie

    I adopted my Basenji/Whippet mix in December 2005 from a local shelter. The shelter had her listed as a Whippet mix and I am surprised they didn't know she was part Basenji. She not only resembles one, her personality is ALL basenji. She can always make laugh and keeps me on my toes. She is the joy of mine and her daddy's life! I hope the picture comes through as an attachment. It took me FOREVER to get it resized and I'm still not sure the picture will show up.

    Thanks! Hollie is a handfull and LOVES to run. We take her to the dogpark as often as possible. She likes being the leader in a game of "chase." Her ears do stand up sometimes, but mostly they flop over sideways (seems to have the whippet ears). I feel very fortunate to have Hollie, as she was a shelter adoptee. The shelter is having a reunion on Sept. 30th and I can't wait for them to see her and let them know she is part basenji. Apparently she wasn't at the shelter long enough for them to get to know her ALL basenji personality. We love her!!

    Yep - Hollie has that strong Basenji front end. Her chest is undeniably Basenji as well as her face. On the chair she doesn't look too big either. I think Whippets are bigger than Basenji. I should try and post a couple of Dukes pics too - but like you, I need time to fumble with it all. She's beautiful - thanks for sharing.

    I was living in Ghana for a few years and the year before I left had gotten my dog as a puppy from a neighbor. We became so attached, of course, that I couldn't leave him behind. It actually was very easy to bring a dog into the country–only a proof of rabies vaccination was required (surprising since the US has the strictest immigration laws for people!). He has adjusted very well, loves taking walks with a leash (in ghana he would run wild, and follow me around on my bicycle.) He refuses to walk in wet grass, though, which is something I think he shares with basenjis? I didn't post any pictures of how his forehead wrinkles--that's when he looks most like a basenji!

    I loved Mammoth Lakes! My B/W Nika was like that. Always looking for the spot to jump over the water. Did not like walking on wet grass. She'd tolerate a bath now and then as long as the water was nice and warm.
