    It was Ebby's first birthday on the 5th :) she turned one. we went down the beach and had fun.

    They also "helped" me clean my car…

    and a little riverway walk

    So…the cows. well of late we have had some cattle hang around. I got some photos and thought, brilliant! but last night they visited again so i decided to record :) the girls hadnt met cattle before. Hope you all enjoy the footage and photos.

    and the videos: dont mind my commentary. its a shame that youtube compressed the files too. but you's get the idea :)
    This one is their real first "meet" http://youtu.be/-OnBNEEce8s

    This one i filmed this morning http://youtu.be/ls1KGzrPpL4

    I used to walk my last 2 Basenjis off leash in the hills on Stanford University property. They have cattle and the Bs would get about 10 ft from the herd and just sniff the air and move on.

    My first Basenji found out the hard way that cattle like to chase dogs, particularly small dogs. She figured out pretty fast that the safest place to be was as close as she could get to me and my horse. Sure helped convince her to stay close on trail rides! :)

    "In order to get along with a Basenji, you have to be at least half as smart as the dog!"

    When I first had Buddy at 8 months old we were hiking and had to pass someone riding a horse on a very thin trail. First time he ever encountered a horse and he freaked out and I had to grab and hold him tight untill they passed. Now after 3 years of passing them it's no problem at all. He hasn't encountered any cattle yet.
    Back in the early 80s my mother lived in the country and behind her back yard fence which was just barbed wire, there was a huge ranch. I would mow her lawn and throw the clippings over for the cows. My first Basenji would charge full speed out of the back door at the fence and the cows would jump back a bit freaked. That tough Basenji tri girl had very little fear.

    I'll be sure to let you know how Jenga does when the 100+ Swiss cows with bells arrive this weekend! They are finally coming out of the barn and into the pastures for the "estivage". I don't think he will have much choice as our farm will be surrounded by them on all fence sides.

    My dogs don't particularily like the cows as much as the cow patties! The runnier the poop the more the B's have interest in it.

    Great birthday for Ebony :) We have cows half a block from us and Kipawa is totally in love with them, as are they with him. Not sure what it is but cows seem to like basenjis? Lovely pictures and glad you shared them with us.

    I've always found that my Basenjis are great with cattle and also horses. The young heifers are particularly intrigued by Basenjis.

    Lovely pictures. Its good to see updates and Happy Birthday to Ebony.

    What breed are the cattle?

    Well, there are now cows, cows, everywhere and Jenga doesn't seem interested in the least. He does like to much on the horse poop though.

    The rescue girl who would get out of the invisible fence and had a high prey drive also had a thing for a bull. She was lure coursing near Ft. Worth TX and the field was near where the cattle was fenced in at. She went crazy and wanted to go after this huge steer/bull through the fence. I believe it was a TX Longhorn. One kick from him and she would have been history!

    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.

    @Lovelace: Really? What ones? I don't know of any that have all the criteria? I've done extensive research on the breeds, and i'm curious I don't recall any. I think Pat means lots of dogs have one or more of these traits. Those three things all together MAY be an indication that the dog does have some basenji in it…but not for sure. Because the dog could be a boxer/husky mix...and end up with right color/markings, pointy ears, a curly tail, and have wrinkle on the forehead (lots of dogs have wrinkles around the face). Rat terriers are notorious for looking like Basenjis...but the shape of their head is slightly different, and the breed was founded using some Basenji way back. Another thing to remember is that after several generations of mixing, all dogs tend to go back to a natural or pariah dog shape...squarish, brown, pointy ears, slightly curled tail...that is just the natural phenotype of "dog"...so a dog might end up looking Basenji-ish even if there is no actual Basenji there. I am not refering specifically to the OP...that dog does look like it might have some Basenji in it..or Rat terrier...but it is REALLY hard to say for sure. It doesn't matter really, because everyone is welcome here...Basenji, mix, B-look alike...welcome...

    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.
