You have an interesting mix there, if he is a Basenji/Pit Bull mix. One has the wilfull nature, and the tenacity of the other. I would feed him, if he asked me. He may be listed as a "dangerous dog" so get him used to a muzzle when out walking. Preventing any incident is better than dealing with any consequences.
Newbie!!

Hey all!!
My name is Sarah and I live in Ireland!
I don't (yet) have the pleasure of having a Basenji, but I am looking to add one to our family mid next year so I am here to find out as much info as possible about this beautiful breed.
Great to be here

Welcome Sarah. Glad you found the forums. There is a wealth of information here to help get you ready for living with a B.

Lovely to have someone else who lives on the "other side of the pond"
welcome ! i'm sure you'll gather loads of info here.
-
Lots of good info on this forum.
Welcome. -
Welcome Sarah. I hope you find all the info (good or bad) you need here.
I see by your PP that your interests are in dog training and showing. May I be so bold as to ask what kind of dogs you train/show?? I'm just a pet owner so showing and training are a world beyond my understanding. The closest I get to showing is watching Crufts and Westminster on TV:o
BTW…does Ireland have many 'senjis?

I have owned and shown Staffordshire Bull Terriers for the past 10 years. I originally saw a Basenji at a show last year and have been fascinated ever since. To be honest I haven't seen many over here, there are hardly any entered in shows that I have seen but not too sure how common they are.
I have seen more in the UK, I travel over there alot to show.

Hi Sarah, welcome to the forum:D
I am moving from Germany to N.I next month as my husband is in the forces so there will be 3 more Basenjis living there soon!!
I only know of 1 Basenji that actually lives in Ireland, all the rest come across from England for the shows. Maybe we could arrange for you to come and visit my 3 when I get settled in;) -
Oh wow that would be fantastic!!! It would be really great to actually get to meet some and have a cuddle. Definitly let me know when you are moved over and all settled in
