    Thank you everyone for the nice and fun comments! Did she choose the costume?! She said I could choose for her….as long as it was fit for a princes!!! haha Her costume seems like a perfect fit. Was it hand made? Yes, I made her costume this year. In 2008 and 2009 I bought little girl dresses from Goodwill and "tweeked" them to fit her appropriately…...but, this year I just started with a bunch of fabric I bought from a garage sale for $1. When my kids were young I spent all of October every year making their costumes.............but then they GREW UP! (The NERVE!!!) So now I have Haley who seems to be perfectly happy wearing costumes.............she's obviously the perfect dog for me! (It gives my friends one more thing to tease me about, that's for sure!!!!!) Are all Basenjis OK with wearing clothing? I'd love to hear all of your stories!!!

    @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...

    Nexa is full af. and she is very cautious in new situations. She is curious and wants to say hi to every dog or person we see, but if they approach her she will back away. The introductions have to go at her pace. We were on a walk the other day and she was desperate to investigate a cat laying in someone’s driveway. She just stood there staring at the cat from 5-6 feet away, as soon the cat came towards her she tucked her tail and ran like it was a lion after her. The cat might have weighed 8 pounds wet. She is wary, but with her curiosity she just can’t let things go.
