    Monkey type measures input capabilities in terms of speed (words per minute) and accuracy on a computer system keyboard. Monkey types similarly determine keystrokes or critical Words per minute (WPM). A stream is usually provided to key prospects over some time. The monkey-type analysis is performed by matching the provided flow with the individual keyed in flow and learning errors. The final WPM rating is determined using a mathematical formula.

    So, Safi's just gone into an unexpected 2nd season this year, last one was mid-July.

    She's been very sweet and a bit clingy but being so clean I barely noticed the real reason!

    Here are some recent pics, she's 11 months tomorrow.

    My kc registered girl, is due to have a litter in a couple of weeks. Long story short. I was waiting until her last season and was going to get her spayed. Unfortunately, my male kc registered basenji, managed to break through, into her room, whilst we were out. So.... I've had them both tested for fanconi and pra, clear! I've done an inbreeding score, which is 0
    5%. I'm unable to kc register, as my male's breeder, won't lift his endorsement. Obviously, I told both breeders immediately, my girls breeder is willing to, however.

    The dilemma I'm in, is without being on the breeders file. I'm extremely worried, that the pups, won't go to people who have researched the breed fully or are experienced. I'm not happy to post them on the free sites, for fear of their new homes not working out! I'm planning on getting each new owner to agree, that if the pup doesn't work out, then they must be returned to me. Obviously without kc regististration. The pups won't have a safety net. My main priority, is to ensure that the pups go to good, deserving homes. Obviously, I'll vet each potential owner. Therefore, I'm reaching out to anyone, who knows of anyone in the UK that has experience or has researched the breed fully, who are looking to give one of these gorgeous pups a forever loving home. Both my girl and boy are outstanding examples, both with fantastic temperaments. Tia

    We were told he might be a Corgi/JRT mix, but so much of him fits Basenji. Here is what I'm thinking:

    Pros:
    He has that "air raid siren" yodel
    He talks to me making all kinds of interesting sounds
    He licks clean his face and paws
    He doesn't have a dog smell
    He has forehead wrinkles
    He is very smart
    He is very muscular (the vet even commented on how muscular he is)
    He bonded quickly with my husband and me, but everyone else is suspect and is not allowed to approach him
    He has dark spots on his skin under his fur
    Ears are erect
    Chases animals, small and deer
    Doesn't like other dogs
    His tail curls up over his back

    Cons:
    The shape of his face is wrong
    He is a little small for a Basenji, 20lbs,15"
    His legs aren't particularly long
    The copper brown color on his torso is broken with white.

    I'm happy to hear any comments!

    Hi all!
    In May 2022 we adopted an almost 2 yo dog from a shelter. They thought he was Corgi/Jack Russell mix.

    When I woke up with in the middle of the night to an "air raid siren" I started researching Basenjis. Most of him fits

    I look forward to discussing this further in this forum.

    Wondering if I should feed my 11 month old basenji grains, legumes, wheat and soy. We are trying out just right pitons blend and have the option to exclude those. We have tried blue buffalo and instinct but she is not too found of the kibble. We do try to feed a variety of real veggies, meats and fruits some nights but kibble is more convenient in the mornings.

    Hi, as some of you know Kiya crossed the rainbow bridge a few months ago, succeeded by Chance, who is still relatively healthy and is now 16. Chance is very chill, friendly with everyone including other dogs in the neighborhood, and sleeps most of the time nowadays except for 3 daily walks.

    We are thinking about bringing home a doberman puppy into our house in a few months. I am curious about your experiences with bringing a puppy in with a senior male basenji in the house.

    Hi everyone! I've begun registering with the FCI and Taiwan's Kennel Club and I need to know if this name has been taken at all. A quick Google search says no? And there is not one in the FCI database, but I figured I should check with y'all since you are B-folk!

    Hello once again,

    I've recently noticed my B marking with blood (starting with the 3rd, 4th one, not so obvious in urine and first few markings) so I took him to the vet next day.
    They found some crystals in his urine, namely Cystine, and also found some 'deposits' in his bladder & urethra canal with ultrasound (I believe).
    From what I could tell, this seems due to high protein intake, which is odd because I always paid attention to what he eats.

    He recommended a prescription diet (U/D Urinary Care from Hills) and 5 days of antibiotics. Now, he is the vet and knows best, but having a strict diet for AT LEAST 6 months is going to be hell, especially now that he is 10 months old and is in that period where training is mandatory. He already started ignoring kibbles from his daily food for treats outside.

    Has anyone encountered similar issues, with strict diets? Any alternatives on how to approach training from now on, since he specifically said to stay away from treats? I also use lots of praising and all that, but let's be honest, there is a limit to it.

    Roux did good at her second show! I'm so proud of our girl! 312203155_10163063384306509_5597746315315245098_n.jpeg image url)

    Hi! I need some help. My female B (9 months old)gets humped by male dogs all the time. She loves playing with other dogs, so I take her regularly to the dog park/playdates with friends. She has been humped everytime we meet male dogs. She had the heat 2 months ago, so I do not know why other dogs go so crazy when they see her (maybe she's just a real beauty??)

    The other day I was walking her in the neighborhood, and another woman asked me if the dogs could say hi. That other dog immediately jumped on my basenji. With the leashes on.

    Another day, with a friend's dog, we were at home and the male dog even ejaculated on the floor.

    I don't know what to do, because my B never says no to these other male dogs. She never tells them to stop, and I think she believes they are playing.

    I am terrified everytime I see that, specially when the dogs are bigger than her.

    Anyone with the same problem? Anyone who can give me any advice??? I don't want her to stop playing with other dogs!! She's so happy when she meets other dogs!!! 😞

    Thank you in advance!

    Hi guys, we adopted Noel from animal shelter in Portugal 3 months ago. At first we suspected it was a Podenco mix but now we think it could be a Basenji mix as well. Mainly because of the curled-up tail, he trots like a horse and he is very clean and hardly smells like a dog. I would be interested in what you think! Thanks!
