Bring your paperwork that the breeder gave you to your first visit because they will want to know some things like birth date, always (in the first year or so when lots of shots are administered) bring the vaccination record book Pam and Sheila gave you and ensure they make a copy of it and not just write it down..you will also want to update your copy as your pup receive shots so like I said..bring it so they can fill it in for you. Any questions you have regarding vaccinations I highly suggest asking your vet but also getting in touch with Pam to ask her opinion, she knows her dogs and her lines and she is better equipped than the vet to give you an honest evaluation on which to give. Also try to follow her guidance on neutering and spaying (if you plan to). I know with Oakley I followed their advice. It might be true or not but in my opinion basenjis tend to mature slower and I find they need more time for the growth plates to close before castrating is a wise choice.
Basenji Shiba mix: Does anyone think that my dog might be that?

A Shiba Inu looks a lot like Basenji with a fluffy coat and wider head. The behavior is also similar. Because of the floppy ears, which you wouldn't normally see on either a Shibu or a Basenji, I'd say not a Basenji mix. That's just a guess. If it matters a DNA test doesn't cost a lot and is going to be more accurate than anyone's guess.

To be entirely honest, I can't see either Basenji or Shiba in this little dog. Does it matter though ? Just love her to distraction !
