Considering adopting a Basenji/Shiba Inu mix


  • I think two in the household is much better than one - most of the difficult problems, like separation anxiety, went away when I got a sister (basenji/collie mix) for my basenjji female. I know most people here say female/female is not a good mix because one can eventually think the other must go, but I've seen none of that with my two. Please do put pictures on the site when you have your mix - bet that mixture is adorable.


  • Welcome!
    Would you be getting Swiper the Americas Basenji Rescue?
    I would talk to the foster parents/organization. I generally agree that two is better than one, but there are some dogs out there that are not pack dogs. I would see what they recommend.


  • You are all so helpful! Yes, I know this rescue dog has been living with other dogs and gets along well with them. My female shiba was very agressive towards other females. My sister has a lab mix, much larger than a shiba, but my shiba dominated her ruthlessly.


  • would love to see some pictures of the basenji siba inu mix!!

  • That is one COOL looking dog!!! Its like a fury basenji, wider.. Nice


  • Thank you, glad you liked the pics!


  • Very attractive dog.
    Thanks for sharing.


  • Very pretty boy!


  • I know this is an old post but I have a 8 month old basenji shiba mix (we call him a shasenji) He just began shedding and quite a bit but has never before. He gets along really well with other dogs but we were very dedicated to socializing him. I do think he would do better with another dog in the house because he is always looking to play and gets destructive when there is no one to play with him. He is very pretty and makes all the cute basenji sounds and we love him!


  • congratulations on your basenji/shiba puppy and welcome. Would be cool to see some pictures of your pooch!
    🙂


  • Are you sure that black/white dog has Shiba in it?

    I know I'm a little late, but your guy looks just like mine! CUTE!


  • He is so cute! Are you sure there's shiba in there? He looks all basenji except perhaps the tail is fluffier.


  • He does look like he could be PB. Where did you get him from?

  • First Basenji's

    You guys, Mambo's owner already posted pictures of his pup's parents in his intro thread here. He is a confirmed shiba/basenji mix. Perhaps, for obvious reasons, I remember this one pretty well. 😉

    Hope Mambo's doing well!
