I have had the pleasure of owning both breeds. There is another forum member here who also has a basenji and a Shiba. Lol, they are both very stubborn breeds. Depending on what you want they are very different though. Shibas need a lot of care for grooming, they blow a lot of coat and can get matted fur, on the other hand they make a very good watch dog. Basenjis don't bark but make a multitude of other noises. Their coat is nice and short for less grooming, though they too blow coat, just not as bad as a Shiba. They both maintain puppy characteristics their whole lives and live long lives. I think our Shiba was 16 when we lost her. Both need a lot of socialization, with both people and dogs. This is a must. Good luck with whatever breed you choose. Look at parents for temperament and do your reading on health problems and make sure you adopt from a reputable breeder.

Hello everyone,
I just found this site and am glad as I hope it will be a great place to make Senji friends. I currently have Two boys- Cody & Pumba and Two girls- Chili and Pepper. I am also babsitting my friends senji Ivy.
I do show both AKC and UKC confirmation. Am looking forward to getting into some coursing and maybe even some agility. My children also enjoy showing.
Look forward to getting to know some folks on here.Denise:)

If your photos are in Photobucket, copy the IMG code, last code under thumbnail picture, then paste in on your post here. Works for me.
