Hello everyone


  • Hi everyone,
    My name's Melissa, and I live in Baltimore, MD, USA. I own a bookstore. About a year ago, we adopted our dog Beasley from a local shelter. We think he's a Basenji-Jack Russell mix. Thankfully, he doesn't seem inclined to destroy glasses or carpeting, just his squeaky toys-frequently, I'll emerge from the back room to find the innards of his latest toy scattered around the dining and living room, looking like snowman droppings.


  • Welcome to our community!


  • Yes, we seem to have snowman droppings no matter the season here, Kaiser has a very special technique to his de-stuffing it is interesting to watch(naughty me), a lot of nose work is used. Am now only buying unstuffed toys so they last longer and durable chews, he recently got a deer antler and it is lasting nicely. Love the name Beasley, would love to see what a Beasley looks like. Enjoy your pup.

    Jolanda and Kaiser


  • Welcome. Yeah destuffing is a fave activity with many of our guys. Please share a picture of your dog! What about him makes you think he is a basenji mix?

    @Mr: First, let me say 'welcome' to you Pedro. Then I have to tell you that not all pure blood B's have black noses, our little gitl, Bitty, has a dudley nose, dark brown and pink. Our second dog, an adoptee from BRAT (Basenji Rescue And Transportstion) was listed as a Basenji mix but I was totally convinced that he was all B, he had all the physical traits, tight curled tail, pointed nose and stand up ears. His chest is white as is your Neymar's with the white collar. All B's have 4 white feet and the tip of their tails are normally white. As you mentioned he has the normal wrinkles. Taking all of these points as a group your Neymar has all except fro the tail, which in my estimation would make Neymar at about 90% B. So, again, let me say welcome to another new Basenji lover. Thanks, I'm glad that you agree ! I'm getting a pure B now to be Neymar's companion, a black and white female ! I made a thread about her on "Show of your dog" section ! As she grows up i'll manage to even more tell the differences or similarities :)

    Thanks, I am very lucky to have her, she's so sweet with such a loving nature. But she does like to hunt, and last night roughed up a little oposson in the back yard. It did get away, with my help. Do other Basenji's like to herd? When Zoe went to a dog run in St Pete, she ran all the dogs to a tree, and kept them there as long as they would put up with it. It was hillarious!
