Hmmm… seems like we need a 23andMe solution for our pups. How bout we call it K9andme. I can remember most of my pups markings and have 100s of pics to refer to. That said they do change pretty fast. Our pup D’Otto was a split head with a nice dot right in white. It started as a dot and it’s still there! But it’s a bit more of an oval these days.
Basenjis and sunburn
-
I was going to add this on as a comment on another post, but thought it more fair to post it on its own.
Has anyone had any sunburn problems with their basenjis? I'm curious, as their coats are so minimal.
-
sometimes on the muzzle or belly, but never severe.

2 of mine get pink on the white patch right before their nose - I put sunscreen on them. My 3rd has thicker fur so she doesn't need sunscreen.

My Kristii had very, very short hair… never had a problem with sunburn in her 15+ years

My first Basenji had pink nose which would blister and scab from the summer sun. I used to get it tattooed black but it would peal and lose the black and scab up again. The vet said to keep the dog out of the sun. Yeah right! Good luck on that one.

Isn't that the truth. :D:D:D
