Could Sandie be something else ???

Basenji Talk
  • tonight sandie and I went to Petsmart and they was having thier puppy class.. we stopped to watch and i noticed a tri color female in the class… she is 6 months old the owner said...Sandie even tho a mix is so much larger and her ears are at least a inch longer if not longer than the pure basenji and her muzzle isnt as pointy ... i looked at the Ibizan Hound and she doesnt at all fit that description other than the ears... Maybe the tri i seen wasnt a good example for me to have seen..

  • Basenjis do vary some in size and look. From the pic in your avitar (or whatever it is called) she looks like a basenji to me. If you want to send pics privately, I would be happy to have a better look.

    Regardless, she looks enough like a basenji that she must have some in her!

  • If I'm not mistaken, isn't Sandie the dog that launched herself into the mashed potatoes at Grandma's house? That's one of the funniest basenji stories I've seen on this site. How could she NOT be basenji?

  • It wasnt Sandie that dove for the mashed potatoes…even tho she loves them too ... I really think she is basenji ... just seeing the tri and how small she was and her ears not really large to the head size just kinna thru me into what if's...

  • I've definately seen a variation in ear size among purebred basenjis. So don't let the ears throw you off. She defiantely looks part basenji to me.

  • I have a basenji/whippet mix and my girl is 32 lbs, which is larger than even the male basenji's. Depending on what breed it is mixed with the dog could be any size! Hollie is heavier and taller than the pure breeds I have seen. She does have the long whippet legs.

  • lol.. my boy Tucker is the king-kong of B's… tipping the scales at 48lbs. we believe he's mixed with boxer. (and his ears are quite large too!)

  • roxy is mixed with a pit bull i think, thats what they said shes 35 lbs,nd her ears are pretty massive lol

    I think that Basenji people have to have a special sense of humor to choose this breed in the first pace, and Basenjis have the same sense of humor, doing things that crack us up and then cuddling up and demanding attention and love. Of course we love our Basenjis and want to gush about them...it comes with Basenji territory!!!!

    Our boys don't touch human food at home, when I put my dinner at the couch next to Buana or chaufuko they won't look up… :D Also when we aren't in the room they won't steal food from the table (thank god because they should be really fat already thanks to the cats and Ryan) When it's on the floor, they will steal it :D

    It looks like "another spammer" hit 8-posts, all about 1-2 minutes apart with the same post on the same day… And where is "Array?" except on the internet? BaMicas mom

    Sandy is cute as could be! I love her perky ears. Sorry to hear about the loss of your big fella. :( We lost our 2 1/2 year old baby lab to a blood clot following a surgery several months ago. After her loss we brought Kiana into our family & then we decided to KEEP little Mary also. Needless to say, we have put off fostering for a while. :p Here is a group shot of all our girls, Mia & Mary have the same Tweener ears! ;) [image: fallsiggy.jpg]
