    We received our Basenji from a friend that had no clue what he was. We were told that he was a 5 month old Min Pin. Vet put him as almost 7 months old, and a Basenji. He has every Basenji trait, mannerisms, etc except he can bark.

    We want to have genetic testing done by a reputable company to verify what Diesel is mixed with. He is up to 18+ pounds now at 9 months old. The older he gets. And the more weight(muscle) that he gains really makes him look more & more like a text book Basenji.
    He has transformed my family.

    I travel the country delivering new RV trailers, and he travels with me. Has been amazing, all whom see him go crazy. He gets treated like a rock star. Quite funny.

    I'll post better pics later.

    Aggression is an all encompassing term. As pointed out above, there is quite a range! It is not unusual for Basenjis to be dog aggressive. Mine is, and I just avoid other dogs because I know his intentions are not good. Some are same sex aggressive and fine with members of the opposite sex, and some may just be making a statement when they are leashed. If you describe what you are seeing more specifically I am sure lots of people will have common experiences and possible training fixes to share. I would love to see some pictures of Tucker, and welcome to the forum!

    Thank you so much for the compliments! Yes, Dew is a very funny looking dog and he has about a million faces he makes at me. I think that the basenji/beagle mix should be the next big thing, just because I think he's so great, but I don't know that the average person who just wants a good ol' dog could handle him ;)
