My Basenjis are 6 and 3. We live in Florida and I usually run with them 1-2, sometimes 3 miles. My run is still just a trot for them, but I let them stop and sniff and potty whenever they need/want, and I just do squats while they do it :). On the 3-milers, I am sure to bring water or let them stop and drink at the beach which is the turn around point. I also wet them down before hand.
Which breed is my dog? is he really a basenji?
-
Can someone please tell me which kind of breed i have?
i thought it was basenji but it looks a little different from basenjis.
it has bushy tail and some other characteristics..it can bark as hell..
he is very good at barking :D.. and i know basenjis cant really bark so Can someone pls help me with the kind of breed he is?
!

Could be mixed with most anything. About the best you can do to find out is do a dna wisdom panel.
-
I would say he is definitely a basenji.......I have had 2 basenjis that barked.......They just don't bark as often as other dogs.
-
Doesn't look like a purebred, but definitely has Basenji characteristics. Yes, they can bark, but generally only occasionally and never continuously. Generally just once, or once, then a pause, then again. With my dogs, the ones that barked only did it when startled, or on viewing something they were suspicious or nervous about.
-
Could be a mix.... not a purebred..... very handsome however.

@DebraDownSouth okay thank you
-
@jumblie yh i think so but he barks very often. i think he even barks more than some dogs ive owned and thats what made me had doubts he could be a basenji
-
@eeeefarm he can bark continuously..he barks very often and that what confuses me cuz i know basenji barely barks.. but for my dog , he barks very often
-
@tanza thank you

@SmokeyBeatZ-Gh
If you go 45 secs in, you can hear the normal basenji bark... a boof, not bow wow wow of most dogs. -
@DebraDownSouth yh my dog does the "boof" sometimes early in the morning when he sees me..but thats once in a while.. but not often
but he does the "bow wow wow" kind of barking most often.. just like any other dog. he barks better than most dogs i might say -
So maybe a mix. I wish i had done a dna of my chow/coyote with some of the new panels. If you really want to get a good idea, wisdom panel is one of the better ones.

@DebraDownSouth thank u very much dear

And if you do get him DNAed, let us know.
