  • 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.

    Please research the health problems in Basenjis especially Fanconi Syndrome! There is a DNA cheek swab test for it and I believe it only costs $75. If your dog has not been tested and is over two years old, she needs to be strip tested for glucose in the urine monthly until you have the DNA test done and obtain the results. Untreated Fanconi Syndrome will kill a dog! Here is a webpage that explains health problems in Basenjis: https://www.basenji.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=155&Itemid=292 Jennifer

    Thank you for your reply Seko. Bandit is 11 weeks this Wednesday 6th Sept. When he turns around bearing his teeth and growling after being told off for being naughty, I point my finger at him saying a LOUD NO!! He doesn't like it, puts his ears back and looks at me. I have bought a clicker and will attempt to train him and my Lowchen "Alfie" together with liver treats. Wish me luck!! Angee
