New owners, Basenji/American Bulldog mix?

Member Introductions
  • Found the site while googling different Basenji mixes and seeing this post: http://www.basenjiforums.com/showthread.php?10065-Hello-This-is-Bailey-my-Basenji-Bull-mix
    Looks like that person wasn't a frequent poster, but his dog looks exactly like Ivy, the dog we just adopted here in Indiana about 2 months ago. The breed description on wikipedia sounded a lot like her, somewhat aloof, likes to climb, sort of a trot walk, etc. No one seemed to shoot him down for thinking it might be part Basenji, and he knew the mom, so maybe we know what she is likely to be now! She has the wrinkly forehead and huge ears, similar size as the dog in the post above as well.

    she was found in a parking lot, had tape worms, had just had puppies, had a respiratory infection, had a UTI and then skin infection at her spay site, an allergic reaction, and played with a pin cushion, luckily didnt eat any. All that in less than two months!
    She's a stinker, but getting better and is lots of fun

    Welcome aboard, but do share his registered name ? Who are Dad and Mom and what was his date of birth so we can be sure to add him to the Basenji pedigree on-line database (with a photo ???) for the world to share him. http://www.pedigrees.zandebasenjis.com/

    Thank you~ I'm going to do a little research about how to equip her for the snow. We're planning a trip to Indiana in February and I don't want her to freeze. I'm wondering if dog shoes would be a good thing to get and have her get used to for walking in snow. I know she'll need a new coat since she's outgrown her old one. She gets shivery easily.

    Looks like you will have your hands full! The video made me chuckle, especially how quickly it happened and how the pup looked excited to make it to the sofa!

    Most people incorrectly use the terms dominant and dominance with regard to dogs. Here is a good blog post by Dr. Sophia Yin on the topic. http://drsophiayin.com/blog/entry/dominance_in_dogs_is_not_a_personality_trait
