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.

Not sure how large they are to begin with, but something as small as 350X250 should work and be easily viewable.
Where in Scotland?

Hi Ellen, yes, just go into Photoshop (or whatever software you have for your photos and change their size) I usually send my photos in at 200px and they load easily. You must have warm coats for those scottish basenjis?

Hello Ellen!
Bless you for doing rescue! I can't wait to see those Scottish basenjis!!! -
Yes - and please send me pictures for the database ! Brits are notoriously bad at supplying photos - some countries have pics in an entire five generation pedigree !
Details of how to send them, and my email address are in the signature block - I look forward to including them !
-
sally iv lost the full pedigrees over the years only sire and dam um where is the signature block
-
Give me sire and dam - I will probably be able to find them. I have all UK registered dogs cos I buy the Breed Record Supplements quarterly.
Go go http://www.pedigrees.zandebasenjis.com/ and there is an email address.
We can move on to emails while we get it sorted out.
Thanks ! -

Just make sure they are not too big. Are your photos on line or on your computer? If they are on your computer then you just click on the icon second from the left at the top of the compose window and you should be able to browse to find the picture you want. If it's too big most photo programs will allow you to downsize them. There are also free apps on line to help you resize photos.
