Can you spot the basenji

  • I know you can…but he mussed up the covers, carefully placed the stuffed animals, and put himself to bed like this it was too cute. Turin thinks he was pretending to be pack leader of his stuffed animals (placing them all around and sleeping in the middle is apparently an alpha thing to do)...whatever it was it was really cute.

  • Way cute..thanks for sharing.

  • Did he actually fall asleep like that, or was he just playing??? Too funny!

  • Really cute!

  • So adorable!!! It's amazing how these dogs can sleep :p

  • Too funny! He looks like King of the Crate! :-)

  • Toooo funny :D :D :D

  • He was dead asleep in this photo

  • I filled Lola's crate with stuffed animals today, hoping she'd do the same thing. No such luck.
    Very cute

  • Lol..Indi has always been wierd about his stuffed toys. When we first got him at 10 wks we would let him sleep in our bed alone when he was napping. After a few days of this he would take his stuffed animals and put them down for a nap. Bring them to our bed, put them down, cover them with the covers just like we did for him. It was funny for a while because until I figured it out I would walk by the bed and say "Huh… how did that get there" put it back in his crate and then a half hour later when I went back in the room there was the stuffed animal taking a nap again.

    Its good hes so cute

  • Great picture! I hope I am not being indiscreet but I live in France and cannot find crates as big as the one on your picture, are they easy to find where you live? Do you know if they can be ordered and sent to Europe? I must sound silly but I have spent a lot of time looking for a good crate for my basenji and haven't found one yet. Have asked in pet shops, they are horrified when I tell them it's for a dog!!!!!in other words…back to work soon and worried already about the dammages in my appartment when I'm not in!!!!!
    Sorry if this comment is not appropriate and indiscreet, it's not meant to be

    Hi Christiane,
    If you contact me privately (you can go to my profile and then to my website to find my email address) I can give you the name and email address of another Basenji owner/breeder in France. I think that maybe she might be able to help you out with your questions about crates.

  • Thanks a lot, I'll do that right now.

  • @rnasto:

    …stuffed animal taking a nap again.

    Napping! That's what those stuffies are doing! I always thought they were playing dead, hoping their B master wouldn't tear them apart for their coveted squeaker organ! ;) :) ;) :)

  • Thats a great picture of Turin. I had to do a double take just to find the guy! He really hid himself well

  • very cute!

  • I love it! Classic B behavior! Makes me wanna rub his belly.

    @creambasenji Please start a new topic/thread in Member Introductions when you upload an image of your "cream" basenji. That way, more people will see it. (thanks!)

    She is really cute though I don't see Basenji. Like Shirley said, only a DNA can tell you much for certain.

    Thanks for saving a life ! I agree obediance is definitely atypical of a basenji ! The mixed breed dogs are the best most of the time. I have 7 dogs all different breed mixes except for my George who looks like a pure bred Basenji. All of my dogs including the basenji are rescue dogs (and not from the shelter !) Found on the side of the road rescues!......Thank you , glad the dog found a good home! Helen
