The ears say Basenji. I have never replied but felt I had to this time. I have a Basenji-Pitbull mix named Daisy. It was Daisy's ears (and behavior) that I discovered her to be part Basenji. I have not found another breed with the ears such as Basenji's have. I'm sure I will get "crap" because I have not had DNA or other testing done but there is no mistaking, Daisy is part Basenji. I think its important to know if your dog is part Basenji because in Daisy's case she is 98% Basenji and 2% pitbull concerning her behaviors and personality. Daisy is 2 years old and it has been quite a learning experience owning such a smart, stubborn, loving, mind of her own, amazing dog! Daisy is a mix but I have to train, teach, go outside to yell out frustrations cause of her (and no I'm not kidding, but never in front of her) and all that goes with a pure Basenji because trying to train her like a normal dog does not work.
Who has the oldest basenji?

Please post your age of your basenji if you think he/she is a senior. I am curious who has the oldest and wisest basenji out there. Photos would be great!!
I have heard of them being 16-17years….

My Maggii will be 16 august 27th and my OJ will be 16 Sept 9th

by the way, Maggii is in my avatar pic… the red & white taken about March of this year... The Tri, Mickii was 14 in Feb.

Obviously I won't have the oldest, as I am fairly new to the world of B's.
But Pat has just given me great hope that my two "babies" will be around for a long, long time!!! -
Mine is not the oldest at 13-1/2 but I did have a tri color live to be 17-1/2 (1/75 to 6/92).

My Jojo, pictured in my avatar is 11yr young…

Hello all:
My Metinga will be 12yrs old in October 2007. We are pup pals with one or 2 B's on Dogster that are 16yrs old and there is one more I came across on Dogster also that is 17yrs old.
All the B's I ever came across or heard of were either living up to age 12yrs or 14.5yrs max. That's great that I can expect to get more potential years with Metinga:) -
can you guys post pictures of your elder basenjis….
how many dog year vs. human years? 7
That cant be the same ages for basenjis....Maggii would be 112 years old.
Let's try 5-6years for every human year? That would make Maggii 85-102yrs old?
Does that sound right?
