  • I found this site and was quite delighted. We have a just over
    2 year old Basenji mix, we think with Lab, but she is very much
    Basenji. She is MacKenzie. I will post a pic when I can, she is about
    50 lbs, does bark (must be the Lab) and whoever had the pups before
    they turned them into a shelter, they docked the tails.
    She was brought in by my daughter as it was her and her boy friends
    dog at 14 weeks to socialize with my dogs, a Siberian Husky and a
    Malamute, and she never left. She is a complete family dog. She was
    brought up with sled dogs and she thinks she is one. I have lost the
    Malamute and just lost the oldest Sibe, but she has a just under two
    female red and white Siberian companion also They are the best of friends
    and working partners. I am in Southern California and in the fall, winter
    and spring we do dog scootering. These girls run together like life partners
    and beat a lot of the sibe only teams. They both love the snow, again the
    lab in her. She is such a delight, so different from my sled dogs but so
    compatible. We hope to get in on some discussions and will share pics
    of the girls working. Their working team name is Girls beat feet.
    I almost forgot the joy in listening to both of them howl at sirens. Can't
    be beat.

    Welcome! I have seen red and white Shibas that looked just like a long haired basenji. You could have a shiba-basenji mix, perhaps. He is a very cute dog, I see why you are in love. They are hard to resist! For about $60 there is a DNA test if you are really curious…..

    Admittedly Basenjis and sheep are a problem. Thank you for such friendly welcomes. I have had some Basenjis who I did eventually manage to 'train'!!? to be safe with sheep and could wander among them and occasionally help to herd, others (including my current pack are killers and can't be left to wander freely where the sheep are. We have a double gate system for visitors. There was a time when I could have taken them all out for walks together but now I take them 3 at a time and my whole day is taken up with exercising dogs. When I get the hang of my digital camera I'll post some piccies. Nomrdggs - I'm not sure I have kept my sanity!!!! Tanza - I have actually seen some of our original imports - and I have attempted to breed as close to the original type as I can. I bred my last litter 4 years ago.

    Sorry, no, I'm in San Diego. But if you ever head South…:D It looks like there's a pretty active club up in your neck of the woods. Maybe they have meetups you could join? Not so much here, that I know of, though a lovely woman I met through Karen has 3 b's in a community near here. We have 2 basenji mixes in our neighborhood that we've discovered (your dog will find those for you if you take her to a dog park or a popular walking area). Congrats again - can't remember if your post said this was your first B, but aren't they just amazing?
