Welcome Janneke! Cute pups!

G'day, mate! Welcome!

That last picture is oh so cute!

@elena86:

I think that our city should hire my basenji to catch speeders. If a car is going the speed limit, he's OK. If they're going faster, he does his "Tasmanian devil" thing where he spins around a few times before he wants to take off for a chase.

Stop! The visual on that is killing me. Too funny. :p

Hello, My husband, son and I are in the process of adopting a rescued Basenji, female, 10 yrs young. She is healthy. We have had dogs in the past, the last one died almost 2 yrs ago–cocker spaniel--and this is our first Basenji. We have been reading info provided by BRAT (Basenji rescue) and are looking for any helpful info. She is still with her foster mom and we have only seen pictures of her and her bio. We are to talk to her foster mom in the next day or so. Thank you

Welcome and thank you for adopting a senior. They deserve the best.

You'll have to excuse me for becoming an elitist, but I don't think I'll ever be capable of having any other breed of dog.

Welcome, Elena. Sure you wouldn't want an Irish Wolfhound?

OK, here's a picture of my two greyhounds, named after their colors, Bengal (tiger) and Panda (bear).

Thanks for the info, Terry. And that explains my confusion before this. From now on, I'll consider them as sighthounds.

I think I posed that question in the intro and thanks for discussing it. In my travels around the Net, I think most dog people consider it a sighthound. I was just a little unsure since they aren't leggy like a greyhound or Afghan.

Thank you. It's my understanding they are but when I think sighthound, I think long legs.

I'm here to learn about Basenjis and are they really a sighthound breed? I have 2 retired racing greyhounds and love all sighthounds.
