  • My B's wag their tails. Their whole bottom wags when they are so happy to see you.

  • Dex wags his tail too. Not all the time though, so when he does it I get excited. :)

  • suki also wags her curly tail.

  • Thank you all for the informative replies. I was surprised to hear so many have basenjis that wag their tails. I have never see that in any of mine. Benkura, I thought it was a problem in the transforming from hard copy to digital. I too find the misspellings a daunting way of reading a book. Thank you all for the suggestions and links too. :)

  • I highly highly recommend The Collected Kona… It is a collection of stories all about a Basenji (several hilarious ones in there). You can find it on Amazon and Ebay I believe. Super cool book! :D

    lots of books mentioned in that thread

    also i've been pleasantly surprised to find basenjis in the following books:

    Piers Anthony's The Sahde of the Treee
    Roy Blount Jr's Webster's Ark
    Ruth Rendell's The Copper Pea****
    Birr, et al 's Dogs Best Friend
    Carol Lea Benjamin's This Dog for Hire
    Jill Wylie's Call of the Marsh

  • Thank you Michye7994 and agilebasenji. I will definitely check out the books you suggested. And agilebasenji, thanks for letting me know about the previous posts. Teach me for not checking out the forum properly. :(

  • pari1art - you're welcome. and sometimes when you're excited about something, it's easy not to check all the nooks and cranies.

    Okay, Renndell's book is the Copper Bird with LARGE tail feathers. Or something like that.

  • Hana wags her tail a lot when greeting us, it sort of unrolls out, whips around, curls back up, wiggles and waggles floppily…. I was surprise how much she unrolls it and rolls it back up though, I think depending on her mood. Her happy tail flopping around is the cutest thing ever !!

    That sounds really cute. The more I hear about basenjis the more I think no two are the same. LOL

    Looks can be so deceiving- here is an article of a woman who adopted a rescue dog in N.J. Dog looks like a basenji - even her vet thought it might be basenji. She did an Embark DNA test - no basenji. Turned out the dog was a mixture of Mountain Cur, Rat Terrier, Beagle, and Boston Terrier. link text

    Okay, that link gave me a book about a Rottweiler. So I kept reading and see Checkmate had a section, but not whole book. Yeah, what a great name! Here is a link to the book cover so you can see Checkmate! http://www.amazon.com/What-Heidi-Knows-Gemma-Tamas/dp/1462871720/ref=tmm_pap_title_0?ie=UTF8&qid=1319985518&sr=8-1

    lol usually when you breed a bigger dog to a smaller dog the Male is the tiny one. Its just dangerous to do it the other way around. As far as DNA breed testing I would go for it if I could. But i am just interested in those kinds of tests. We offer them at our clinic but i haven't ever seen results for them.
  • What book is this?
