Hello from Hamilton, NJ

  • What a gorgeous dog!! He reminds me very much of my first dog, who was a Basenji X Border collie, black and white like yours and the exact same weight. My girl had traits from both breeds (picture an obedient Basenji ;)) but, could she ever bark! Look forward to seeing more photos of your boy! :)

  • Welcome to the forum Mo! Mambo is a very handsome dog! I almost adopted the below mix from the So CA Basenji rescue and the lady that runs it talked me out of it. Said she screams quite often. I thought she was a beauty.

  • thanks for welcoming Mambo and I to the forum, and thank you all for your kind comments.

  • Welcome to you both…he sure is a cutie.

  • Welcome Mo and Mambo. Love the name Mambo for a male basenji!

  • Welcome…does your mix bark?

  • Mambo is quite stunning!

  • what a great name for such a good lookin' pup!

  • Love the pictures of Mambo! I can definitely see the Basenji in him. I am curious about how the Shiba appears in the mix though. Do you know for sure if he has Shiba in him? I ask because I'm curious about how coat genetics might come out… if it's possible to have a Shiba mix with no hint of red.

    Mambo is soooo shiny. Your other dog too. Welcome!

  • Thanks everyone! Mambo is a name my mom and sister came up with while I was living in Long Beach, CA. His bark sometimes is the typical yodel-barroo when we play and when he asks for his toy, and the Shiba cry if he hears me outside but can't see me! His mom is a pure bred Shiba for sure.

    Here are some pictures of his parents and Mambo as a puppy.

    Deja, Mambo's mom playing with him in the background

    Obviously he gets his fluff from the Shiba side

    I was a bit sad the day I took him because his mom really loved to play with him. He was the most curious and independent from the litter

  • So fascinating. Thanks for sharing those additional pictures. I had wondered if maybe the Shiba was a cream, as I understand that's a recessive coat color. But I also read somewhere that the Shiba cream trait is actually a really, really diluted red (hence, the red tipping you often see on the ears of cream Shibas), so I didn't know if it was possible for some red to show up in offspring. Again, I don't know canine genetics at all.

    We are a Shiba Inu / Basenji 2-dog household here (both spayed/neutered), so I am smitten by the idea of your dog. The best of both worlds. ;)

  • Mo, were Mambo's parents originally from Long Beach, too?
    He really looks a LOT like the mix that Dan posted. What if they're related??

    Mallia is the third Basenji we have the pleasure of having in the last 30 years. She is a female where as the first two were males.

    First off, Welcome to our site of valueable Basenji information. I have learned so much linking into this site, we have lots of laughs as well. My B, Sahara, crosses her legs all the time, she is such a showoff and often has the regal queen look. I love the look myself, they are such beautiful dogs I must say, not that I am partial or anything. Your Piper is so cute, welcome again.

    Hi Kiro, Welcome our neck of the woods. I live just a bit past Emmittsburg in PA so I'm not too far. The Mid-Atlantic Basenji Club meets at the Carroll County Agricultural Center right there in Westminster. Our next meeting is 1 June and there will also be a spring fun match that same day. It starts at 0900. There is a Yahoo group for the club that has info about the event. It's fun and games. It's really neat to see so many basenjis in one place. Hope you can make it. It's a nice club to belong to. Karen
