    Nicola, i love the pics of Roxy, she's beautiful. I see she likes to travel in style on the train. What is her temperament like? My hubby and myself are wondering because a Border Collie wants to please and a Basenji….........well need i say more :D
    Also is that John Barrowman with her in the last pic?

    Hello Shelley,

    Thank you.

    Roxy's temperament is outstanding, best I have ever known actually! She's not the brainiest dog (!) but she knows basic obedience and a few tricks. I guess if we'd had her from a puppy her training might have been more advanced but who cares! She's great as she is.

    She loves nothing better than to soak up the attention given to her by people and she adores other dogs. She has tons of character and I just think she's great. :D

    Yes, that's John Barrowman, Captain Jack himself! :cool:

    Can you take your dogs most places with you there? In the states, some places are restrictive re dogs, unless their service dogs.

    "Captain Jack" trumps all . . . 'cept the Doctor himself, of course! What a great time you and Roxy must have had! Great photos! Isn't there a song…."I'm just waitin' on a friend"....the picture seems to say it all.

    I am so jealous of Roxy! John Barrowman is awesome. Even better than the Doctor (well, depending on which one you're talking about. :p)!

    We could, of course talk about the "Doctor" and confuse many…and you are absolutely correct...it does depend on which one we are talking about (my first was Tom Baker), and we Americans tend to have an affinity for our "first". But the pics are still great and "Captain Jack" still rocks!!!:D:D

    Torchwood, anyone????

    Torchwood, anyone????

    Umm, totally! I hope it comes back in some form in the future. And Tom Baker was my first Doctor too, although I like David Tennant alot. Not so sure how I'll feel about the new one. To make this basenji related again…now that Roxy has connections with Captain Jack, maybe she can be the Torchwood mascot. :D

    I've met Roxy and I must say I could have taken her home! Her temperament and personality are fab! Glad to see you got her on the train no probs.

    Now on to the important stuff - Definitely Torchwood! :D
    I love Doctor Who, David Tennant was/is the best. Don't like the look of the new guy though.

    I do prefer John Barrowman when he speaks with his proper Scottish accent, it makes him even more handsome!!! :o

    Lucky Roxy getting a cuddle :D

    Haha, what are you all like! :D

    I must admit, David Tennant doesn't do anything for me either though I do love him as Doctor Who. I love Doctor Who and Torchwood, especially when the Barrowman makes an appearance. Oh yes, he's gorgeous! Even more so in the flesh. :o And like some others, I love it when he speaks with his Scottish accent. Oh my….:p

    I'm sure Roxy would be happy to be the Torchwood mascot. :cool:

    Thanks for the lovely comments about my Roxy. :)

    Yes, I agree, DT is the best Doctor Who that I've seen and I adore John Barrowman, especially when he speaks in his Scottish accent! Oh, delicious. :o

    Hi everyone, Thanks for all of your replies! Rex just had his first vet visit (first with me at least), and he was given a clean bill of health. The vet that I saw also agrees with a lot of you that he looks like a Min Pin more than a Basenji, but he is likely still mixed with something because he's a bit too big to be a pure Min Pin. I've looked at a few DNA Dog Breed tests online, and they seem to range in price and in quality. It seems like some of the cheaper (~$50) tests are fake, but they go all the way up to almost $250 for the higher quality ones. Do any of you have experience with these DNA tests / have a brand you found reputable? I'll be sure to post the results of any of the tests with this forum! Thanks again, and Rex is doing really great in his new home!! [image: 1559586518913-img_3707-resized.jpg] [image: 1559586546977-img_3720-resized.jpg] [image: 1559586568474-img_3708-resized.jpg]

    @xjole said in Does my Stella have some Basenji in her?: She has the wrinkled brow, upright erect ears, white markings on feet, chest, and tip of curled tail. Her preferred way of communicating is a song-like low howl, although she can bark. She hates getting wet and her prey drive is HIIIGH. She is very reserved and cautious, although that might be due to her stray status before I adopted her. Others have commented that she looks like she has some Corgi or Shiba Inu in her, and while I do see it, I see more of the Basenji temperament in her. I've asked her vet about the DNA testing, but I've been told that it is very unreliable, so I thought I'd ask other Basenji owners what they thought! The Wisdom Panel DNA tests have been getting better every year, so it's not as much of a gamble as it used to be. That said, the test does best with a purebred, then with a two-breed dog (like a "labradoodle" or whatever), and worst with a total mutt. If your girl is indeed a mix of two purebred dogs, it might be worth a shot. Check your pet store or Amazon for the test; the one that vets give is the most expensive anyway and is only worth it if you want to know about hereditary health issues, too.

    I'm finding it interesting that basenjis (many of them) not only tolerate snow but enjoy it. Maybe because they don't get wet right away? Or, that they are child like and just love playing in it. Great little video - thanks for sharing it.

    After striking out with my first 2 B's I figured I'd give my other love a try! She is wonderful so far, potty training is kicking our butt..as with any puppy. We have only had her a week yesterday so I'm sure this is gonna be fun! She is giving us (my gf and I, our 3 cats and Sid) a run for our money! Sid is very jealous though, which is what we wanted. We need him to desire attention instead of just laying around all day long. Wish us luckkkk with the ol' man.
