    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.

    @edo_a my email address is in the websites in my signature block. Please send me a .jpg and I will add it. I hope some of the siblings will be registered and that I can add them. But it is important they be tested for PRA too. So if you can make contact with any of them, it would be helpful to suggest it to them

    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!

    I agree with the others that this is not a common practice among BCOA breeders. I am sorry that this happened to you and yes, you should get your deposit back.

    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 ;)
