What is your favorite color pattern?

Basenji Talk
  • Black and white is the color I was first attracted to and is my favorite but I have come to really like all the colors.

  • @tanza:

    :D How can you not love a Tri?….

    Cute! I love this picture!

  • Arti is the most handsome B & W I have seen followed by Jasper of Basenji Park.

    Youngandtired-actually Jasper is a brindle…it's Willy that's the GORGEOUS b/w :D :D

  • @ChristyRutherford:

    Cute! I love this picture!

    That is Mickii with her impression of "stickem up"…. and her grand daughter will do the same thing!

  • @ChristyRutherford:

    Here is a picture of Squiggy with my Mom's BRAT Petey.

    He's beautiful!!

    Love that picture!! So adorable!!

  • Okay, I was hesitant to reply to this thread (other than to compliment all of your dogs!), but I guess I will weigh in:
    I have always loved the R/Ws - I "ordered" one (LOL), but the one bitch didn't take and there were only R/W males. That's how we ended up with Nala, our beautiful tri.
    I have to say that now, since joining this forum, I really could not decide which color I like best. They are all beautiful and each dog is unique and special with their own personalities and personally, I'd take them all!!!

  • Seems judges favor Reds from my experience.

    No one talks about Trindles?
    That's one combination I really do not like (sorry if someone here has one)

    you going to have to show me some fantastic ones!

    go here to see a fabulous trindle…if it doesn't take you directly to his page go to "Tazi" on the scroll bar on the left.

    I don't mind trindles...I have seen some great ones. I think if the stripes aren't REALLY clearly defined in the tan, it just looks kinda murky...so that detracts from the look.

  • Sophie's sire is a trindle and I think he is quite handsome. A real sweetheart too.

  • Christy - lovely looking tri! I like it as well. Can't say i've seen one like it before.

    just a question… what is the little grey thing by his tail?

  • My least favorite color is Trindle, while I can appreciate a good dog regardless of colow, I don't want a Trindle, I am too partcial to Tri's to accept the muddy color of a Trindle…against the clear color of a Tri... but again... that is me... and yes it is only color... but we all have our preferences...

  • If it's a Basenji I like em all! I've had tri ,red/wht and blk. No brindle yet.

    Thank you! He's my buddy.
    The little grey thing is one of my past hairless kittens.
    Kind of like a little alien.
    He enjoyed unraveling Squiggys tail and watching it roll back up.

    Furless cats and barkless dogs….who would have thought up that :)

    And even with that preference it didn't stop you from co-breeding a litter with a trindle sire. Having a preference for a color doesn't mean we can't appreciate a dog of a different color and even use those dogs in a breeding program.

  • So it's Willy, anyways BB knew what I meant, he knows which B&W is the most handsome, he has ribbons to prove it, he is so beautiful, I want one someday, maybe, I really love R & W too.

  • Tanza, that pic of "stickem up" is SOOOO hilarious! I literally laughed out loud. Thanks for adding that!

    While I too love all Basenji's and would seriously take one in every color- I still have preferences. I like the reds with white blazes on their faces the most. Tri's come in second place for me- but it seems like some of their faces are better looking than others and I can't figure out what makes it that way- it's got to be slight variations in their markings. I'll have to study pics side by side. But I love their unique markings. I really wanted a brindle, but my hubby doesn't care for the color. I agree with BBoy that when their stripes are clearly defined, they look really exotic. Black & whites are probably my least favorite- I don't know why but I feel like they look more ordinary than the others. That is stupid, I know. All Basenji's are still better looking than any other dogs though! Holy Basenji snob!! :)

    And Lexi was my first love, but she is what we call a "mouse dog"… because she is SOOOOO petite. She has a really small face, tiny frame, and even daintier paws! I think she has better white markings than Miles though. (Miles's blaze is off center) And I love that Lexi has only two freckles- right on her nose. I think of them as little beauty marks. Sexy Lexi!! :)


    Okay, okay… Lexi's pretty much the super model of Basenji's now... she's has so many photo shoots, it's hilarious! When I pull out the camera, she'll run and pose... Cracks every body up!

    I think Miles is a much more handsome Basenji. He's at the opposite end of the spectrum though- the biggest R/W male I've seen! He has a much more substantial head than Lexi. And their ears are pointed in slightly different directions. He's nearly impossible for me to pick up though- he's gotten SOOOO heavy now!! HAM MAN!

    Everyone has such beautiful dogs! I really love them all!!

  • Obsession. The first step is admitting it.

    So far Shaye's favorites are the "no stuffing" animals with squeaky toys at each end - she has a squirrel and a beaver - she runs around squeaking them - strange thing, when her puppy teeth were out and she was getting her big teeth, for a while she had trouble making them squeak and she would toss them in the air and drag them around running full-out, then jump on them and try to get them to squeak again. She also has a set of hard plastic keys on a ring that she enjoys tossing and chasing (and getting us to toss for her of course. Her favorite game - reverse fetch.

    Sugar gets the 'winter nose' thing. It does get a pinkish black, but in summer goes straight back to black. All puppies are born with the pink noses and they later fill in. Talker still has a little bit of pink which I expect will fill in.

    Yeah, it is a hairless kitten (not very cute in the pic though) He liked to unroll Squiggys tail and watch it roll up again. I will try and take some better pictures this weekend.
