Kizmet, our first basenji

  • Here is a picture of our girl! It is an adventure so far! She is such a fun dog and the cat is going to be her friend! The cat hissed and Kizmet ran up and pushed kittys nose with her nose and ran away! Wish I had the camera for that! So far, so good and I am sure they will get along fine with time and supervision of course! Crate is a good thing although it is a bit challenging at bedtime. I have been bad and letting little Kizmet sleep on my lap while I watch Nascar and should probably be playing with her instead. Tired dogs sleep better! Our shepherd mix has never been crated and sits next to crate and whimpers with Kizmet! Tonight shepherd mix- Gypsy is sleeping in the bed with us and hopefully things will quiet down quicker! Kizmet gets the living room which is warmer than our bedroom and the cat sleeps in her tree next to the crate. Hopefully kitty doesn't get the crazies at midnight and wake Kizmet! New routine with puppy addition is going smoothly so far! I think puppies are a great alternative to gym memberships! I am whooped! Pee pads are great but I like my dogs to potty outside so today is a new record for potty trips to the outdoors! Gypsy likes it! Kizmet is pretty well leash trained already and it has only been a day and a half! Looking forward to lots of new adventures! :D

    I agree with the others that although he seems to have Basenji in him - his head is def. not Basenji. As for the leg I'd have it amputated if it troubles him - He'll cope with 3 legs I'm sure, but certainly consult a specialist first. Please keep us updated.
  • Not a basenji, but…

    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.

    I might be inclined to believe foxhound if he didn't weigh less than 40 lbs. That And neither a lab or a foxhound have a tail that goes straight up and curls over the back. Whippet is a possibility, but again that doesn't explain the tail curling over the back. Granted his tail is longer and not as bushy as a pure Basenj, but then he isn't pure Basenji. Pugs have a wrinkled forehead and a curled tail, but he has the longer neck and a gait more like a sight hound, and his coat is shorter but not the double coat of a lab, so I am kind of ruling out pug. He may be a big pile of mixes from parents who were mixed. I don't really care what breed he is, he is a great dog. I think I am right on basenji, but if not, it's no big deal. And no he hasn't chewed my underwear. He did chew on the couch cushion where I usually sit.
