  • Your girl is lovely.
    We all start somewhere with b's…glad you found us so you can share some more photos.


  • @wizard:

    Welcome to our pack and congratutions on adopting an adult beastie :D

    Thanks, but I raised her from a pup. :)


  • @BasenjiDiva:

    Welcome! What are their names? Your B does what my two do - try to fit the other dogs head in its mouth. Except with a Basenji and a Golden, it really is an exercise in futility!!! Also looks like your B thinks the German Shepherd is its fluffy bed. They are a lovely bunch.

    yeah, Keoki does that to Jazz too. Dh says he's like a snake, always trying to swallow Jazz's head whole! He never plays rough like that with Gypsy {our old golden}; it's like he knows she's not up to it.


  • Hello & welcome to the group. Good pics

    I would probably NEVER get another one. I love mine to death but training her was 10x harder than the other dogs. Even still, we have to be very VERY careful around the house not to leave things out, or leave doors open, or leave food on the table, etc. She will get into as MUCH trouble as she possibly can!

    If nothing else, she's been great training for having kids one day :)

    :D But thats a typicall Basenji… hard to train and get in as much trouble as hey can :cool:


  • I can't imagine a home without a basenji!
    They have such a great sense of humor….and they know how to use it on you.
    Trouble, yes, they can cause trouble...but they also make me laugh.
    Such a neat breed for those of us who are a bit off center...laugh


  • I actually LIKE that we can't leave stuff lying about the house! It is a huge help in keeping the house clean. My basenjis trained my kids to not leave their crap all over the place better than I ever did!

    I also don't think training has been any more difficult – I had a dobie about 20 yrs ago who was more challenging in many ways, LOL -- but it is different. You just have to take a different approach, that's all.

    Whatever she is, she's a little doll. It's nice to know that the displaced pups are finding such good homes.

    Welcome! I have seen red and white Shibas that looked just like a long haired basenji. You could have a shiba-basenji mix, perhaps. He is a very cute dog, I see why you are in love. They are hard to resist! For about $60 there is a DNA test if you are really curious…..
