  • Awe pretty dogs! 2 of my favorite breeds!! :) :) Thank you for sharing Suzee! :)

  • Suzee - great video of two dogs that obviously love to play with one another. It's so cute how Congo plays/runs and turns to look back to make sure his friend is chasing him!

  • Wow, he's pretty energetic for 11yrs!

    right?! it was hilarious because for the first 15 minutes Congo was just being a drama queen and wanted nothing to do with kapo. but i picked congo up and gave him some lovin' and put him down, then he was like ok.. i guess i'll play. =)

    and congo is in great shape for 77 dog years.. i really lucked out with him!!

  • LOL poor Pit never had a real chance.

  • Very cute, but the b sure did get dog drool in his back.

    Shaye also loves playing with the big dogs - if they aren't paying attention to her she annoys them until they chase her, and it's all fun and games from that point - and my b definitely has to be sprayed off before we leave the dogpark, because she usually is coated with dog drool on her head, neck and back. Her favorite two friends are an 18 month old female Rhodesian Rideback named Charlie (a girl) and a 2 year old doberman named Ruthie - sometimes they play together and ignore Shaye, then she tries to break them up and they are a very unevenly matched threesome running after each other. Fun to watch.

    Hi everyone, Thanks for all of your replies! Rex just had his first vet visit (first with me at least), and he was given a clean bill of health. The vet that I saw also agrees with a lot of you that he looks like a Min Pin more than a Basenji, but he is likely still mixed with something because he's a bit too big to be a pure Min Pin. I've looked at a few DNA Dog Breed tests online, and they seem to range in price and in quality. It seems like some of the cheaper (~$50) tests are fake, but they go all the way up to almost $250 for the higher quality ones. Do any of you have experience with these DNA tests / have a brand you found reputable? I'll be sure to post the results of any of the tests with this forum! Thanks again, and Rex is doing really great in his new home!! [image: 1559586518913-img_3707-resized.jpg] [image: 1559586546977-img_3720-resized.jpg] [image: 1559586568474-img_3708-resized.jpg]

    You had me confused and then I realized you meant the write up on the other rescue (Okapi)… I like less white also. So I had to go look... wow, coloring reminds me of minpins. :) Cute dog though.

    I agree with the others that although he seems to have Basenji in him - his head is def. not Basenji. As for the leg I'd have it amputated if it troubles him - He'll cope with 3 legs I'm sure, but certainly consult a specialist first. Please keep us updated.

    I might be inclined to believe foxhound if he didn't weigh less than 40 lbs. That And neither a lab or a foxhound have a tail that goes straight up and curls over the back. Whippet is a possibility, but again that doesn't explain the tail curling over the back. Granted his tail is longer and not as bushy as a pure Basenj, but then he isn't pure Basenji. Pugs have a wrinkled forehead and a curled tail, but he has the longer neck and a gait more like a sight hound, and his coat is shorter but not the double coat of a lab, so I am kind of ruling out pug. He may be a big pile of mixes from parents who were mixed. I don't really care what breed he is, he is a great dog. I think I am right on basenji, but if not, it's no big deal. And no he hasn't chewed my underwear. He did chew on the couch cushion where I usually sit.
  • Basenji or not??

    Thank you very much for the info. I will have to try the time out. He was crate trained as far as being house broken, but now when I put brownie in the crate all he does is whine.. I do have 2 older dogs. one that plays with him and the other, well he just growls at brownie. The mother that was there when I got Brownie was a white shepard, maybe that is where the broad nose comes in.
