  • :p

    To all who have asked for pics, trust me i've tried. Every time a snap a pic, my sassy one moves and shakes. As soon as pooch permits, i'll add pic. She is so clever and funny. Last night she slept on my husbands neck. LOL He can't resist her, she won't allow it.

    Also, I had picked Ella Louise, but my daughter had her trained to LoLa before I could sneeze. So it's official LoLa Louise. Louise for when she misbehaves.

    We live on post and any problems are handled by work-orders. Well a contractor just left and he thinks that the pooch is mixed with Rat Terrier. Well upon further investigations, I am thinking she is a mix of Decker Rat Terriers, and Rat Terriers. I have read other sections of the Basenji forum and the Decker Terriers bloodline consists of Basenji. That explains it. She definitely looks like all three.

    This website http://imageevent.com/sierras_heaven…msaurorash?n=0 from YodelDogs posted in September 2009 has pics of Decker Terries and they look a lot like Basenjis.

    The only exception for LoLa is size. She is approx. 13LBS, smaller than a Basenji, or a Decker Rat Terrier, but average for a Rat Terrier. However, she looks just like a Basenji or Decker (Giant Rat Terrier) from neck down.

    I wish that the shelter did more research, they had so many dogs, and many of them are Labs. Labs are high-energy dogs; they seemed only interested in adopting them out, then insuring a proper fit. I told the worker that she needed to be careful adopting certain breeds into certain families. I am happy that LoLa fits into my family. We love her and pamper her.

    I love the name Lola, one of my favorite dog girls names..I might have to have a Lola one day..but you beat me too it..

    She sounds like so much fun, can't wait to see pics.


  • Well, LoLa stayed stationery long enough to capture pics.

    hope I did this right.

    I fostered a Decker Rat Terrier than I pulled from a local shelter they believed to be Basenji or B-mix. He was a delight, I'd be happy to share pictures with you if you like to compare.


  • Tegs,
    Sorry that it took me a while to reply. I would love to trade pics with you. Everyday that passes, I am reminded of the Basenji Code. She is a bolter, I am happy that we have a storm door to help.

    she may have so many different breeds in her so that it's hard to tell what's in there. But yes, she is a pretty little thing. And look at those looong legs - great canidate for supermodel or agility dog.

    I hope he gets out of the shelter quickly as that is no place for him to be since he did have a home! He looks thin and probably not filled out yet. My rescue boy has a narrow face, is tall, and from poor breeding. The Austin Animal Center is trying to be a no-kill shelter but it did run out of space a few months ago. Anyone in TX looking for a male B or B mix? He is a cutie though! Jennifer

    I hope someone can go and take a look and see if he might be PB. He is urgent but is not on the euth list yet. Jennifer

    Awww. Such a cute little girl. I think that we would be a good foster for a dog like her, or one of the FL dogs. We have experience working with pathologically shy dogs. We have an already established relationship with a great local trainer, and with a veterinary behaviorist. We have 3 dogs here to help with the socialization. But we have 3 dogs, and a fourth coming within the year. I'm afraid my heart is bigger than what we can really handle. I'm also afraid because there is no guarantee she will be adopted. If I knew it was short-term, and she could go to another place after a few months of work, I would be much more inclined to jump at the chance to foster. But, with the cats we foster, one has been here a year (tomorrow will be a year actually), and another we finally gave in and adopted after 2 years of swearing we wouldn't. The "normal" cats get adopted quickly (we have had about 10 go through our house, with the longest staying 6 mos.), but the behavior cases that need socialization and desensitization/counter conditioning work tend to stay. We have only had 2 foster dogs, and they were great and found great homes, but we are running out of friends to convince to adopt dogs. :) -Nicole
