    Hi!

    I am new here .. and also new to thinking that I have a basenji mix! We adopted Charlie from a kill shelter about two weeks ago. His info listed him as a terrier mix. I spent a good bit of time googling mixes such as Jack Russell & Rat Terrier, Jack Russell Dachshund, etc. None of them seemed right! I came across Basenji by looking for black & white dog breeds! The descriptions fit him to a tee & he looks like a mini basenji for sure. He has short legs .. so I am thinking Basenji & Dachshund, but would love your opinions!

    It's funny because since we got him we have been telling everyone how quite he is (especially compared to our chihuahua!). Charlie does not bark at the doorbell at all. It's pretty nice! Then when I started reading about Basenjis, I read that was one of their traits!

    Anyways . . here he is! He's 7 months old & weighs a little over 11 lbs now. What do you think?

    Ask the breeder how big the sire and dam are. That's a good idea. My first basenji, who was a champion, weighed nearly 26 pounds when she matured. My 2nd one would have been about that, but thanks to steroids, we did good to keep her at 30. My current rescue is a giant. We won't go there. I first dreamed of a SMALL dog, maybe 15 pounds tops after years of being a BIG DOG person (rottweilers and chows). I don't see that ever happening.

    @hdolbow: LOL ! of courseeee!!!! when doesn't rocky make those devil noises!? i really think he is a little demon. lol One of these days I am going to have to tape the sounds she makes. It cracks me up! A little scary for other people, my mother-in-law was scared of her the first time she did it. Anymore I just tell her no and knock it off and she normally does!
