Introductions for Luna and I

Member Introductions
  • J

    Good morning!

    I'd like to introduce myself and my first dog Luna. My name is Josh, I'm 27, and I work in the medical research field.

    Our beautiful new dog is Luna. She's a Basenji mix. I had never actually heard of a Basenji until we brought her to a few pet stores. We got her from the a local animal control center. What drew me to her out of all of the other dogs there was that she wasn't making a sound. Which after research Basenjis, I now understand why. She does bark, but in 3 days she's only let out 4 barks. 1 because she was excited to go on her 2nd walk with us and the 3 barks were when she was letting my wife/daughter know that someone was here (which it was me coming home from work).

    The local animal control shelter was horribly wrong about her statistics, they stated that she was a German Shepherd mix (wrong), 6 months old (wrong - 1-2 years old), Microchipped (wrong), 25 lbs (wrong - 41 lbs). This could be common among animal control shelters, but it was my first venture into one.

    It's early, we've only had her for 3 days, but we are completely in love with her. We absolutely love the breed and couldn't imagine owning anything different.

    I apologize if the pictures don't post correctly. This is also my first time joining a forum. Let me know if they are not viewable and I will reattempt.

    Thanks so much and I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone and their beautiful dogs! :)

    -Josh

    She's a Basenji mix, we have yet to figure out what she is mixed with though.

    Welcome to the forum.
    I do see a tiny bit of G.S. in her body so maybe that was correct. Maybe the animal shelter gave you the wrong animal! Doesn't matter, you love her, she loves you.

    Hi Jill, You mentioned before that we probably live near each other. I just learned here where you aquired Duke! Wow! Was the other pup a black and white? I was initially attracted to the red and white which Joey is, but have seen some beautiful b/w. I doubt we would ever get another dog but it's fun to think what is might be like to have 2 Bs. Perhaps some day we could meet in a park to walk the dogs. Joey is 11 months and not neutered yet. He is tolerant of all dogs and aloof. We met his sister, Tory, who was taken at 8 wks and she is nasty! She snarled,"barked", etc at her brother and he just looked at her like she was crazy! We all laughed! Tory's mom is a friend of mine and how I found Joey. Send me a private email if you are interested. I'm sure I could learn a lot from you.
