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!

Hi all,
I am new to this forum. I live in Sacramento, California with my fiance and our three dogs (only one Basenji though). Our Basenji's name is Lana, she is a two-year-old tri color female. Actually, we are waiting to hear from a breeder, we have a deposit on a brindle Basenji puppy, we should be able to get her in a couple of weeks. We are very excited.
Please say hi to me, as I am new to this whole forum thing, and don't know exactly how it works yet.
Good day, everyone!

The breeder I am getting the new puppy from is Carol Webb from Southern California. We are waiting on some tests to get done, so we can get our puppy girl. Can't wait!!!

We are going to have quite a pack when our second basenji arrives. The dogs we already have run around the yard like a pack of wolves and they are SOOOOO happy to see us when we come outside or when they come in, as if they haven't seen us for months… even if it's only a few minutes. And yes, then I hear a BAROOOOOO from Lana.
-
Great pictures! Welcome and we are excited to have new members!

Oh Carol is great! I really enjoyed all the time we spent with So Cal breeders back in the day. I think we were at her place something like 3-4 hours. I remember her show pictures from way back that were in black and white….:eek:
Congrats on your pup!
