There's nothing like a basenji in the works, from the way they instinctively lay with their had on the bum looking the other way ( I've never met a B that doesn't) to the way you KNOW they all rub on wet towels or play bow…it's all very endearing and in this breed you often identify traits that they all have, an insight into their genetics and their behaviors. I've never enjoyed a breed so much.

My Arnie destuffs items and that is why he now has fluff inside his crate which is used as his bedding!

i know its not a chihauha but my basenji (who is pretty high prey driven) plays with a chinese crested as well as a mini foxy. it just depends the temperment of the dog.s

great news shes got on so well, any photos?

would we have to arrange it now due postage delays etc ? 🙂

People go blonde or red or black with their hair for a 'change'. Libby just wanted to see what it was like to be a Brindle!

Mr. Baroo, that is too funny about your r/w trying to flea-bite the stripes off of Buddy. He must think he is trying to clean the black fur out of him!

Or Aardwolf? but the geography doesn't really work for the Aardwolf (but the tiger stripes do!)

This lady has a Facebook page with lots of other gorgeous pictures too. We're fans. 🙂

EDIT: LOL, I see they've just posted their own intro! All the better!

Such a 'happy' story and results. You are very lucky to have had access to Dr Dodman personally and how well it has all worked out. Hugs to you both.

There are so many things that mean more than money!

Definitely a basenji on the art. On the back they have another big picture of the red basenji lying down. I guess she was just a cover girl?

I hope your ankle is better soon so that you can watch Loki swimming again

Our male does this to us if we are not quite comfy enough for him to lie on 😉

A couple of years ago I bought a real dog bed and mine love them. Love the $12 ones as much as the $40 ones, like the sides to curl up against, or to hold their heads. I had bought big flat beds for them before, but they all really love the ones with sides. I like Buddy's idea of stuffing old quilts with foam 'egg crate', too!

What a voice! He is clearly making his displeasure known. I know it makes us all giggle, but you are right to wonder if those above and below you also think how cute it is.

I love it when they talk and yodel. Whenever they do I always give them huge praises and lots of pets, though this positive reinforcement does not seem to yield any more yodels. I am very excited when I do get them.

laugh Mine apparently JUST figured out she can do that this last weekend. 🙂 I was so impressed.
I think as long as your Basenji can get down safely, and isn't going to be tempted to hop over any fences… why not?
Now if they actually catch one, just hope they don't bring it inside…

Thabo is fascinated with horses, though he prefers to have a fence between himself and the equine. He has sniffed noses with one, and later the two of them stayed near the fence and looked closely at each other.

Ours are confined to the porch when we leave for work. They have an adequate amount of room to move around and they also have a doggie door they can go out to access the yard. It is great, if it is nice out they go and lounge on the deck and chase those pesky squirrels and if the weather is not good they can retreat back to the porch and lay on their bed inside. They are separated from the rest of the house with a baby gate that mounts to the wall. So far, fingers crossed, they haven't been able to figure out they can jump over the baby gate and it's been 3 years since we have moved into the house.

Both of my B's absolutely LOVE peppers, that and I cannot get then away from me when I cut up a cucumber either. But they will eat just about any fruit or vegetable (the good ones of course). Broccoli and cauliflower are another favorite!
