Show Off Your Dog

@Janneke: Exactly :D:D ;);););););););)

@Shaye's: That's the question I have! I've seen pictures of B's off leash on trails and at the beach, etc. and they aren't running away after stuff - yet, everything I've read says we should never let them off leash because of their hunting/prey drive! I've never tried to see if Shaye would run, because if she did, I could never catch her - what's up with the free dog roaming?? Hello. I use to walk with my dogs behind the town on very large area with fields and forrests…I allways let them both off leash....sometimes Mody doesn?t want to come immediatelly but when she sees Simba running to me, she joins him..That?s great when one of the dogs listens:D but she is really great, she never runs too far and that?s why she deserves to be free, when there is no chance to run under the car, of course...

As an aside - some time after Gossy entered my life, she did something that really ticked me off and I yelled at her right away. I don't remember now what it was, but oh I was so mad :mad:. But what does she do - just like a teenager, she mouthed off at me (with this little rooor rooor)! Talk about diffusing the tension - I just couldn't help but laugh :D. I learned my lesson :).

Haha, I am sure you would yend her back soon - my little devil:))) Today we were on a walk and Mody caught lttle animal - don?t know english name, but here it is :D:D:D Mody - the hunter:D [image: attachment_p_74637_0_sysel.jpg]

Lovely swimming pic?s especially the one with daddys head beside his beloved B glad that your beasts approved the new stroller..LOL There are quite a few basenjis that enjoy swimming I guess it?s matter of taste and habit;) Myran thinks he?s a lab when Miss Efia is a real prissy when it comes to water…..

Great pics!! Same reason I always get nervous if Shera wants to play with fluffy dogs - she chases the tail and the fur always ends up in her mouth!

@Lovelace: Really? What ones? I don't know of any that have all the criteria? I've done extensive research on the breeds, and i'm curious I don't recall any. I think Pat means lots of dogs have one or more of these traits. Those three things all together MAY be an indication that the dog does have some basenji in it…but not for sure. Because the dog could be a boxer/husky mix...and end up with right color/markings, pointy ears, a curly tail, and have wrinkle on the forehead (lots of dogs have wrinkles around the face). Rat terriers are notorious for looking like Basenjis...but the shape of their head is slightly different, and the breed was founded using some Basenji way back. Another thing to remember is that after several generations of mixing, all dogs tend to go back to a natural or pariah dog shape...squarish, brown, pointy ears, slightly curled tail...that is just the natural phenotype of "dog"...so a dog might end up looking Basenji-ish even if there is no actual Basenji there. I am not refering specifically to the OP...that dog does look like it might have some Basenji in it..or Rat terrier...but it is REALLY hard to say for sure. It doesn't matter really, because everyone is welcome here...Basenji, mix, B-look alike...welcome...

@Rita: How do I know were to send donations. Could someone please tell me and thank you. Rita Jean Their website is www.basenjirescue.com

This little boy looks a lot like my Duna!!! Their the same age!!!

@wizard: Janneke - I just love your photos. Can you come over here and take pictures of mine? :) Sure.. If I can eat and sleep at your place ;) :D

What a good looking boy! And the flowers really help show him to his best!

Fantastic pics as usual:D Keep them coming

@Janneke: This is Tillo before his last walk in the evening.. [image: DSC02675.jpg] Is he trying to make a point? :D Yes I think he is !!! "Mom, won't it be to heavy to hold me all night long ?" hahaha :D Lucky Tillo with both of you !

Great photo's… He becomes a big boy :D

LOL - How great those pictures are! Of course we'll all be checking now to see if our B's will enjoy hammocks, slings, etc.! No, we don't baby them, not much.

Congratulations, we didn't make it this year… But there is always next year!!! BTW, does anyone know why there are only 10 Top pics???:confused: Shouldn't there be 12, or are the last two a "surprise"? Another question: Bella wasn't in 2009 calendar, but I still don't know if she was featured in 2008 because I didn't have my computer. After entering, It crashed...:( Does anyone still have the 2008 so they can check for me... I am curious about it still.:rolleyes:

Beautiful photos and beautiful B's, as always, Irena!!!:D

Big congratulations!!!

Thanks guys for the help. I'll arrange a photobucket account and post lots of pics for everyone to see. :)

The flying Basenji is back!
