Basenji plus another dog
-
Bringing a Basenji puppy home was easy for Jazz to accept. I think if I'd have brought any other breed home, I'd have had hell to pay for a long while. Jazzy is typically accepting of Basenjis, but is ready to attack any other breed we've ever seen, from small dogs to Rottweilers.
And Keoki is already showing a tendency to be unfriendly when he sees other dogs – the bristle and growl are instant.Jazzy loves Gypsy now, but even when Jazz was 12 weeks old and we brought her home, her first response upon seeing Gypsy, who was three times her size at least, was to bristle, growl, and jump at her.

Hollie is only a basenji mix, but her doggie day care loves to see her arriving, because they have a Welsh Terrier attending day care that is HIGH ENERGY and Hollie is the only dog with the same energy level. I have noticed even small terriers, like a West Highland Terrier, has alot of energy too. Good luck, let us know what breed you decide on.

jenwilson-what is your B mixed with and does she bark?
-
I ask this because we are looking for B #2 and want to know which fall into the category for nonbarkless.

Hollie is a Basenji & Whippet mix… she can bark and yodel!! I love to hear the Barrroooooo -- it's just TOO cute. I only wish I could get her to do it on command.

Duke and Daisy are B-mixes. Daisy doesn't bark, except when she's in a scrappy match with Duke. If they end up fighting, she'll growl and get so excited that a bark pops out. :D It's very surprising to here a bark out of her. She is Basenji/Beagle, we think. She is so sweet, but strong willed.
Duke is very quiet, but will bark up a storm when the door bell rings, or he sees other dogs. We think he is Basenji/Jack Russell.
Vanessa - I'm so glad that Duke has a playmate. Right now, your cat is Chance's only focus of attention. I bet his focus would be redirected to another dog - they play and do everything together.

Phoenix was very accepting of cheyanne and aspen cheyanne is a whippet so the basenji 500 has nothing on her running stints and aspen is a cattledog/terrier {rat or jack russell} i cant remember what they said, either way he is just very playful and they all got along great the only dogs i have yet to see phoenix not like are the ones that bark at him alot or if they growl and he is with cheyanne. he's cheyanne's little protector lol but other then that he is great with most all dogs big or small.

Wow! I'm looking forward to seeing that. I can't even imagine Cory and a pet squirrel together. Some years ago a country comedian (whose name I can't recall) did a very funny comedy routine about a squirrel getting loose in a church during a revival and that is what comes to mind when I think of a basenji and a squirrel in the same house.

Please, please post the video…I'm already laughing thinking about it. Oh, and BTW, I can understand why you might want to muzzle your B when playing with your squirrel :D :D!
