New Info on Mr Baroo

Basenji Talk
  • When we were contacted by BRAT that they had a 3 to 5 yo male for adoption we jumped at the chance. Upon bringing him into our home we immediately realized that he was, if anything, not even a year old, totally puppyish acting. Well, he's been with us for about 4 months and although he has all the characteristics of a Basenji he is a mix, and a wonderful mix. To be totally honest he is beginning to look like a small Dalmation but with all the outward appearences of a B, upright ears, red and white, white chest blaze, tight curled tail with a white tip, 4 white feet, wrinkled forhead, the whole package. He loves to run and play chase with Bitty his 6 yo 'sister', insists on sleeping under covers with me at night and is lead baratone in the baroo chorus. So, he may not be pure bred Basenji, he is all Basenji to us.:p

  • Photos please!!!!

  • i agree. i can't believe you wrote all that cute stuff about him and then didn't let us see him.

    Talking Bitty gets a buddy
    Hi Y'all. It has been a long while since we have posted here. Our old forum name was BittysDaddy. But that has changed, as you can see. About a month ago Liz, with BRAT, called and asked if we coiuld take a 3 yo red male to foster.

    Okay you got this dog in Jan. Sorry but six mos ago if you are right, the dog would only have been a 5 or 6 mo old puppy… not only BRAT but your vet would have been able to tell by teeth and other things the difference between an adult dog and a 6 mo old puppy. Really. How much, pound wise and height, has he actually grown in this 6 mos? I wouldn't be surprised if the dog was younger than 3... rough living can make them appear older. But I'd be pretty shocked that BRAT, the shelter, the vets who saw the dog before you got it, and your vet all mistook a 5 or 6 mo old pup for a mature dog.

    So I looked at your album and I am falling out. RED DOGS, lots of red dogs, lol. I love it. He looks basenji to me, save the not curled tail in a pic or 2. But what wonderful pics of all your gang. However, dude, get some color in there. And to think my husband complained I only had red dogs or black dogs. LOL of course now we have Cara, a tri. Oh wait, red and black in one package.. does that not count as a different color though?

  • What an interesting dog!

    And I think that clicker training is the BEST way to train a Basenji. -Joanne

    They keep in training by running the B-500 every night before bedtime.

    Good old mental stimulation! I always get worried when the get so close…and feel lucky when they get away. Last thing I want is to clean bloody feet and mouths afterwards!!

    Welcome…no breeding info. from me, but I'm certain you'll get lots of feedback and have fun with others who share your passion for Basenjis! I got mine from a NH breeder and we live in VT. Enjoy!

    The only thing I would be concerned about with a Dachshund would be the possiblity of it having some back damage with the rough play of a basenji…or even trying to do the same acrobatics that Bs do. I have known some folks who had a lot of problems with disk and spine problems with Doxies...but I don't know if that is typical. Something to think about though...
