  • very interesting looking dog. Basenji mix I am guessing, but will be corrected by the breeders on this site.

  • Great pictures…....I think I see Basenji in there. :)

  • I am seeing basenji in that little face…something else too...but at least some basenji.

  • Welcome!

    Some of his poses look like basenji poses. I'm just curious to know what he is mixed with. Whatever he is, he is a cute little devil, and more than likely the light in your family's life. :)

  • He looks so much like my coco. you wouldn't believe it. I was told she was chihuahua and basenji. My shih tzu has held it for almost 24 hours because of the weather before. He won't go inside at all. All of my dogs hate the rain and snow. I have 3 chihuahua mixes and a shih tzu.

  • He really is a cutie! Thanks for the link. I agree that certainly is a Basneji pose. How big is he? Difficult to tell from the photos.

  • Davinci is a cutie, and I do think he might have some Basenji in there!

    Refusing to go out in the wet is certainly a Basenji trait; I just started using a "Potty Park" http://www.pottypark.com/ for my 15 year old Basenji (who is recovering from a probable stroke) so he won't have to go out when it's way too cold. Maybe you'll want to give that a try for Davinci when the weather isn't so good.

    So far my Billy will pee on it when it's outside but not on it when it's indoors. We've had it less than a week and we've worked our way up to it being just outside the open door. I'm confident that this old dog can learn a new trick. :)

  • Does look likely that he has basenji in him - very cute little guy whatever he is! Love those bat ears.

  • @Patty:

    She is 10lbs. Full of energy when she wants to be and super attached to me. Loves people but definately a one person dog.

  • Rat terrier. There is some basenji behind some of the rat terriers but my guess especially with his coloring would be rat terrier.

    I look forward to your pictures. I'm a technophobe too - I keep telling myself I can do it but so far haven't posted any. One of my bitches was spoiled for the show ring by such a judge who didn't know how to approach a hound (although he was a Saluki judge and should have!). She was experienced at showing as well but was traumatised because when she backed away at his front on, silly voice approach she nearly fell from the table! Of course she blamed the fall on his approach. I worked on her intensively but to no avail. Yes, Basenjis on the whole are friendly and they never forget a friend either!

    Welcome and kudos to you for helping with rescues! It sounds like Kowboy was a great introuction to the breed. I'm sorry for your loss of him and Indy. this is a great place to share and keep memories alive. I'll keep my fingers crossed for a speedy relocation back to your family in CA!
