We discovered a 2nd dog park within 20 minutes of our apartment…but this place is an extra 77 acres more than our closest dog park which is 3 acres! I don't know how nice or big dog parks are outside of the USA but I can say that this place may be the nicest dog park in the nation. It's on a national park with a reservoir fed by a creek. The dog park portion is fenced off and has bags, trash cans, water fountains, and people potties conveniently located. The main attraction is a half mile strip of creek bed with a running creek and usually a dozen or so wile water dogs...a conflicting situation for a playful Basenji that treats water like she's a cat! On the weekends there could be as many as 100 dogs there!
Here's a video I made of our adventures so far at the two nearby dog parks:

Looking for dark brindle picture…
-
We recently got another basenji. She is a very dark brindle (we thought she was a black & white as a puppy). I was looking through member photos a few days ago & found somebody who has pictures of a dark brindle puppy that look just like ours. They also had another basenji, but I can't remember what color. I wanted to show the pictures to Andrew…. but now I can't find them. Leads please?
-
I don't know.. But I would love to see pictures of your brindle!
-
I just put a few pictures from the dog park in our photo album in member galleries. I also created an album of just her, but it only has recent pics. I'll try to get some of her baby pics of (we even managed to get a few when she was only 5 weeks old & we were first introduced to her!) up later…. they are sooo cute!
-
Wow…your little girl is even darker than Zaire.....What a cutie.

She's lovely! Love her colour! She really is dark! Can't wait to see her baby pics!

Thanks for the compliments! I love her showing her off… I'm sure nobody around here understands that
We get LOADS of compliments at the park with the two of them. They are really striking together, and so few people have ever seen real live basenjis.I just put up her puppy pics, too.

Lovely coloration.
I am very fond of brindle b's! -
Your girl is indeed very dark but I have seen one brindle who was darker still. Solo was born to a local breeder and when I saw her a couple days after birth, finding any red in her coat was a challenge. She is indeed a brindle though the extreme width and unclear pattern of her striping is a fault as per the AKC breed standard. Both of her parents were very dark brindles.

Wow, that is one dark brindle.
Myself, I think form and structure is so much more important than color…
course, I am not a breeder.
Lovely dog, no matter what the AKC says! -
ooooohhh. I want one of the dark/liver brindles sooo bad.
-
We haven't come across many brindles that are so dark. We love it. But now Andrew wants one of the light brindles & I want a tri so we're arguing…. there's a tri up for adoption on BRAT in our area, but I haven't convinced him yet.

Tri is certainly my favorite!

Mine too
I love all the colors but i lean alittle more towards the tri -
We joke that we are going to collect the whole set. We still need a light brindle, black & white, tri, trindle….....

That dog is BEAUTIFUL. Have you seen anymore with that coloration? I would love to have a light brindle or b/w but that would satisfy me and we could move onto a Tri or Trindle.

Your pup Lola is very pretty. I don't have a basenji yet, and I don't post often, but when I was looking through posts I saw pictures of a dark brindle like Lola from a member I think named WBL, don't think she has posted in awhile; she has a very handsome dark brindle male

Thanks! Those are the ones I was looking for! Appreciate the help.

Hmmm - I posted a baby puppy pic with puppy in a hand that was dark brindle, and I think I posted pics of Foxy and Cami and Cami is a very dark brindle so the pic was of a red and a brindle.
