  • 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]

    She is really cute though I don't see Basenji. Like Shirley said, only a DNA can tell you much for certain.
  • Is she Basenji?

    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.

    Rafismom, we started him out in a crate, but he hated it. Cried something fierce. We then started leaving him in my son's room, and he was absolutely fine….well, until he started crying again. Then we gave him roam of the house while we were gone, and have had no problems at all. Yes, I know. I'm lucky! He absolutely hates for us to leave, but he's good while we are gone. No complaints here, for sure. Maybe it's the possible black lab that mixed in that makes him so calm? He has his moments, especially outside when he sees a squirrel, etc., but overall he's a very calm pooch. Just last week, I was walking the dog at a local park when I hear a woman saying something about the dog. She was a good distance away. I then realize she was talking to me and asked if my dog was friendly. I said, "yes" and she came over to pet him. She told me that the dog reminded her of her first dog. She said her first dog was a basenji. After more chatting, she said that it was actually a basenji mix, but that my dog looked a lot like hers. She told me how much she loved that dog and told me all sorts of stories about her. Such a nice lady. Gave me a few bits of advice and about a half hour later we parted ways. This is my first dog, and I've been amazed at how friendly other dog people are when I'm walking him. This has been a great experience.
