I have had the pleasure of owning both breeds. There is another forum member here who also has a basenji and a Shiba. Lol, they are both very stubborn breeds. Depending on what you want they are very different though. Shibas need a lot of care for grooming, they blow a lot of coat and can get matted fur, on the other hand they make a very good watch dog. Basenjis don't bark but make a multitude of other noises. Their coat is nice and short for less grooming, though they too blow coat, just not as bad as a Shiba. They both maintain puppy characteristics their whole lives and live long lives. I think our Shiba was 16 when we lost her. Both need a lot of socialization, with both people and dogs. This is a must. Good luck with whatever breed you choose. Look at parents for temperament and do your reading on health problems and make sure you adopt from a reputable breeder.
And hello/yodels from Germany

@basenjimamma:
Yeah - they are all awesome :o
Always wanted a b/w Basenji, but "only" got Brindles
Love them over all - but at one far day… -
Welcome Dani, Zuri and Thabo, sure you will love it here.
Basenjimamma i agree wouldn't it be great to have one of each colour -
I would love to have one of every color!:)
My red and white went over the rainbow bridge just this last March. He was a beautiful boy!!:o
I have a tri girl and we added a little tri boy pup through BRAT this last May. It's almost like they are twins!!!!
o:oLove them both!!!

Aaah… My skinny puppy!!
Thanks for de pics! Maybe I have some of Zuri as well! I will look for them tonight -
Thanks to all for the warm welcome!
It's almost like they are twins!!!!
o:oYES - that's what I often hear. "Mum, look! Twins!"
But Zuri and Thabo really look similar to each other, when you are not used to it. He has a little bit more white in face than her. But the same leg is in brindle (the left one) down to the foot and the right leg is white.
So it is okay :rolleyes:@Janneke:
I'm always thinking "skinny puppy" when I watch my boy. Wonder, when he will become "more" -
I found this pic of Zuri, winning best head!
I'm still waiting for Tillo to become more.. ggg.. He was more this summer.. but that wasn't the right 'more'
So he lost those extra pounds -
Ooooh - little Zuri kiss I was so proud of her
That's her head these days:
And Thabo:
The poor boy is in trouble at the moment, because his girl is in season :rolleyes:
His weight is around 10kg - but doesn't matter what I give him to eat - it won't become more :p And he's a little more than 44,5cm… -
Gorgeous dogs. You kepp them very well
-
Very intense eyes on this fellow! They are both great looking Bs!
-
Jepp, beautiful indeed.
-
Thank you!!! I'll try to post some more pics tomorrow
@nobarkus:
Yes - he has very intense eyes. Nearly yellow.
Everbody we meet likes his light eyes more than Zuris' dark ones. Even if they are a little too yellow for the standard -
Standard, schmandard. That's a beautiful dog.
