Show Off Your Dog
  • Hello forum followers, I wanted to share Dude's accomplishments in his first year. He is my first dog, and we have had a lot of fun over the year. I have posted many candid photos previously, but would like to share our accomplishments in the conformation ring! After a lot of work, training and learning how to handle and show a dog we managed to earn a few points in the Pacific Northwest!

    First all-breed show, Wenatchee Kennel Club in August. Winners Dog and Best of Winners under judge Mrs. Robert D. Smith, thank you for our first point!

    Back-to-back wins at our first all breed show, Winners Dog and Best of Winners under judge Gary L. Doerge!

    Winners Dog, Best of Winners and Best of Breed in November at the Willamette Valley KC! Thank you judge Arlene Davis!

    Winners Dog and Best of Winners on the last day of the Portland Rose City Classic cluster! Tualatin Valley Kennel Club in January. Thank you judge Mrs. Carol Spritzer!

    Hi everyone, Thanks for all of your replies! Rex just had his first vet visit (first with me at least), and he was given a clean bill of health. The vet that I saw also agrees with a lot of you that he looks like a Min Pin more than a Basenji, but he is likely still mixed with something because he's a bit too big to be a pure Min Pin. I've looked at a few DNA Dog Breed tests online, and they seem to range in price and in quality. It seems like some of the cheaper (~$50) tests are fake, but they go all the way up to almost $250 for the higher quality ones. Do any of you have experience with these DNA tests / have a brand you found reputable? I'll be sure to post the results of any of the tests with this forum! Thanks again, and Rex is doing really great in his new home!! [image: 1559586518913-img_3707-resized.jpg] [image: 1559586546977-img_3720-resized.jpg] [image: 1559586568474-img_3708-resized.jpg]

    She is really cute though I don't see Basenji. Like Shirley said, only a DNA can tell you much for certain.
  • Basenji?

    No idea, sometimes with mixes it's so hard to tell what the parentage is. I do think that your dog's head is a bit more refined than many of the pit mixes i've seen.
  • Not a basenji, but…

    After striking out with my first 2 B's I figured I'd give my other love a try! She is wonderful so far, potty training is kicking our butt..as with any puppy. We have only had her a week yesterday so I'm sure this is gonna be fun! She is giving us (my gf and I, our 3 cats and Sid) a run for our money! Sid is very jealous though, which is what we wanted. We need him to desire attention instead of just laying around all day long. Wish us luckkkk with the ol' man.

    Can see all the pics now. What a good idea to let the younger Basenji spend time getting used to your cats. Trouble is if it were me i dont think i'd want to give her back :D
