People post mixes here and on Facebook all the time thinking the are a basenji or a mix.. This one is one of the few that really might be! She's probably mixed but I have seen purebred capped basenjis and ones with heavy ticking. A dna test would be interesting!
Her ears look a bit more rat terrier than basenji and the breeds have such a similar look that they get mistaken for each other a lot. I have a friend with a red/white standard rat terrier (show dog) who had a docked tail and is constantly mistaken for a basenji.

I have issues in general when it comes to adding photos on here, why I don't know, and it seems nobody can tell me why( I have some sort of protection code or something fancy like that..).
No biggie, I simply use photobucket (free account) upload my pics on there and copy and paste the image code into my posts.
Works great and is very easy..I am still laughing about Mister Two Dicks name..we have a friend who had a dog for many years (15+), his name was Pita= Pain in the Ass..which I thought was brilliant…until I heard of Mister Two Dicks..

You have to resize them then, when you're posting a new thread, click on the little paperclip at the top of the text box. Browse for your photo, double click on it and then click on upload. Sometimes it takes a few minutes, depending on your connection speed.
When resizing your photo, set it to height 480 pixels. That will make it the right size for this site. If you need a simple and quick photo editor, I use Photofiltre that I downloaded from Majorgeeks.com. It's free, user-friendly and takes very little computer space.
Can't wait to see the pics!

I simply put the setting to medium or large( works either way) when I upload the pics on photobucket and then they are ready to go.

Pari1art - I'm a computer dork - I know nothing about posting photos, I'm still trying to figure out how to use my camera!
I like that you went to court and won - great story.
Basenjis are the best. -
Well, here I go. The first photo is Mister when I first got him. The second is him 3 months ago. And the third is Pepper. They are both desexed.

Very pretty dogs. Thanks!

Thanks guys. Looking very much forward until tomorrow to pick up Pepper.

Welcome to the forum!

Welcome to the forum, i'm sure you will enjoy it here. Mister two Dicks looks great, as does Pepper. Please lots more pics when you get her
-
From one fellow Aussie to another, huge welcome to you, and your beasties…
I think you will thoroughly enjoy this site, and just be warned, it is VERY addictive
Where did your babies come from ???

Hi Saba,
Thanks for the welcome. Mister Two Dicks comes from Sydney and Pepper comes from Queensland via Victoria. I picked up Pepper today and it is interesting to see the difference in size they are. Pepper is taller and longer. Had their first fight within 5 minutes of arrival. Teach me a lesson when giving them each a bone. LOL -
Sorry Saba,
I think you were asking their pedigree names. I have always had rescue basenjis. I find that they fit my lifestyle. I generally don't have to teach them toilet training and by the time that I get them most of the kinks have been worked out of them. That saying, I cannot give you Pepper's pedigree name, as I am waiting on the paperwork. However, Mister Two Dicks is Zandeena All or Nothing. -
I like Mister Two Dicks better.
-
Welcome to our pack - lovely dogs.
-
Well, Mister Two Dicks (3.5 years old) and Pepper (18 months old) had their first day together yesterday and within 5 minutes had their first rumble in the jungle. Probably not wise of me to give them each a rack of lamb bones so early in their relationship. Mister Two Dicks took his to his special place in the back yard and then took hers and expected her to accept it. No no no. Anyway, after I removed the two offending bones, they became really good mates. I found Pepper is not as smart as Mister Two Dicks. It took him three goes before he understood what the doggy door was used for. As for Pepper, all night long. Finally she gets it.
-
Sounds like things are going well. We have rumbles for a few days here, before Otis accepts newbies, whether they are fosters or our own newbies..Moses comes to mind.
Now they are best of friends.
Yes bones might not be a good thing in this situation.. -
Welcome great names for great Basenjis.

Sorry Saba,

However, Mister Two Dicks is Zandeena All or Nothing.I thought I recognised the lovely pink bush in the background of the first shot of Mr Two Dicks, (that name makes me smile everytime I read/say it :)), as being Millissa's place :). I might be clever on that one, but I have no idea on Peppers heritage, so Im looking forward to seeing where she is from !!! Snoopy arent I :D:D.
Again welcome, and be sure to keep the pics coming, we luuuuuuuuuuuuve pics ;).
Hope things are settling with the 2 of them… How did it go over night ???
