Basenji Baby Announcement

    My husband and I have been racking our brains over how we are going to announce that we are expecting.
    I was obsessed with Pinterest where everyone had thier dogs, either with a sign that says they will be a big brother/sister with a due date - or a sign that states that the dog got a new job as a guard dog, starting on the due date.
    Both of these I thought were adorable! Husband, however, did not. One, Cricket is a dog, not a sister (he really is wrapped around her paw though…). Two, the horse is a better guard dog than her! (It's true :( )
    Well, Cricket gave us the perfect photo op today that is fully Basenji in every way!

    What do you think?

    LOL– adorable... and not a shred of guilt in that cute face! I would say that Cricket will be the perfect baby nanny or dog-pair, but really, you'll just have two babies. :) Congrats to all three of you!

    (If she's like Ava, she's going to take one look at all the stuffed toys and teething toys and pronounce "mine, mine, MINE!")

    Congratulations, the thought of Cricket and dirty baby diaper shredding and you running around trying to get to it before it explodes is so funny. Makes me glad my kids are grown up, sound like you will have a lot of fun and maybe will need to buy two of each baby toy.

    First and foremost, CONGRATS! :) Wonderful news.

    LOL, 2nd… oh dear lord. Dirty diapers and a basenji. LOL get an industrial safe trash can, put the diaper container in it. Set up a video camera so we can see how it gets defeated. :)

    Thought I should update this. My son was born in early April. Cricket just loves him! She has not gotten into a diaper yet knock on wood, She quickly understood which toys are his and which are hers and she has learned that if she licks his fingers, he stops crying.
    We did have a brief period of soother stealing… She would take it right out of his mouth, but when she realized how upset he got, she actually returned it and hasn't stolen it since!
    She will definitely be his best buddy as they grow up together!

    Cute :) basenjis are pretty rough and tumble, but they have that sixth sense of knowing when it's time to be gentle (around kids especially).

    Adopted a new Basenji Mix - but is he actually a Basenji?

    Hi everyone, Thanks for all of your replies! Rex just had his first vet visit (first with me at least), and he was given a clean bill of health. The vet that I saw also agrees with a lot of you that he looks like a Min Pin more than a Basenji, but he is likely still mixed with something because he's a bit too big to be a pure Min Pin. I've looked at a few DNA Dog Breed tests online, and they seem to range in price and in quality. It seems like some of the cheaper (~$50) tests are fake, but they go all the way up to almost $250 for the higher quality ones. Do any of you have experience with these DNA tests / have a brand you found reputable? I'll be sure to post the results of any of the tests with this forum! Thanks again, and Rex is doing really great in his new home!! [image: 1559586518913-img_3707-resized.jpg] [image: 1559586546977-img_3720-resized.jpg] [image: 1559586568474-img_3708-resized.jpg]

    She is really cute though I don't see Basenji. Like Shirley said, only a DNA can tell you much for certain.

    I agree with the others that although he seems to have Basenji in him - his head is def. not Basenji. As for the leg I'd have it amputated if it troubles him - He'll cope with 3 legs I'm sure, but certainly consult a specialist first. Please keep us updated.

    After striking out with my first 2 B's I figured I'd give my other love a try! She is wonderful so far, potty training is kicking our butt..as with any puppy. We have only had her a week yesterday so I'm sure this is gonna be fun! She is giving us (my gf and I, our 3 cats and Sid) a run for our money! Sid is very jealous though, which is what we wanted. We need him to desire attention instead of just laying around all day long. Wish us luckkkk with the ol' man.

    Thank you very much for the info. I will have to try the time out. He was crate trained as far as being house broken, but now when I put brownie in the crate all he does is whine.. I do have 2 older dogs. one that plays with him and the other, well he just growls at brownie. The mother that was there when I got Brownie was a white shepard, maybe that is where the broad nose comes in.
