Wondering about coloring?

Basenji Talk
  • I have not idea, He was just a dog walking down the street. Very basenji - like

  • Here in the UK in early days there were Basenjis born with a great deal of white (more like Ibby colouring). Most of these were culled or never bred from as it was (and is) considered a major colour fault.

  • Thanks all for the responses. I am hopeful that I will see this dog again and will definitely ask to get a photo. It was just kinda weird, most of the dogs i see walking by my house are labs or 'mini' somethings. I truly hope I may see these folks and the dog again. If they live across the bridge, where they came from, it is likely i will see them again.

    Here's hopin'! I would be so happy to find another Basenji owner, faults and all, in my neighborhood :)

  • Yeah, sorry folks, haven't seen this dog again. I'm still hopeful, unless, like I said earlier, they were just visitors to "the hood". I do work outside the home, full time, and don't hang out on the driveway the way my folks do. Hmm! perhaps I should…...

    I live on a dead end street that has 3 houses...I'm the middle one... the reason I think I may see this dog again is that there is a pedestrian bridge at the end of my street, and I think they came from there. We get a lot of foot traffic from across the hwy. 'cause we have Dairy Queen just a couple blocks away.

    If I don't see them soon, we may have to take a walk across the bridge ourselves to see if we can find this dog. I have had good experiences the few times I've gone over there.

    BTW: My fella loves going across the bridge. He gets to pretend he's bigger than those semi's flying by below us. :) I don't do it too much because when I'm walking him, it's usually for him to do his business, which he won't do on the concrete bridge. We have a park behind us that is just as fun and he will do his business. :)

  • This is a response to a post from dcmclcm4 (Jennifer) posted on 4/5/2012. I think she was asking about Mr Baroo when she asked about his weight and if we had any background information on our foster failiar. Baroo is now about 2 1/2 at at his last visit to the vet weighed 25 1/2 pounds, he stands about 1 inch taller than Bitty, when they stand side by side he looks totally B. As for any background all we know is that he was picked up trotting alongside a farm road in north central Missouri. He was kept in a county pound for 2 weeks and then the local vet took him to keep in his hospital until Brat found us to supposedly foster him. He is a fantastic little guy, looks and acts B, except for his muscle builder physicue.

  • Mr. Baroo could be related as Davie was living in MO but I am not sure exactly where. I would have to do some research to find out where his breeder lived at. He was sold at a dog auction in SW MO when he was an adult.

  • This is the way I color mine-

    Sorry had to post again-

  • I am just posting this as an FYI. I thought it looked like an extra muscular Tri Basenji, but I was told it was a breed all it's own. google Decker Rat Terrier. Very popular in the southern states for hunting. Very interesting….

  • Someone who lives near me has a Black & White one. Good looking little dogs. Look very much like a basenji, thats for sure. Wonder what their temperament / personality is like?

  • It is difficult to tell a tri Rat Terrier from a tri Basenji in some of the shelter photos. I have to ask does it have a tail and what type!

    Or Aardwolf? but the geography doesn't really work for the Aardwolf (but the tiger stripes do!)

    Sugar gets the 'winter nose' thing. It does get a pinkish black, but in summer goes straight back to black. All puppies are born with the pink noses and they later fill in. Talker still has a little bit of pink which I expect will fill in.

    @ELERICKSON40: Well everyone knows that our tri is a little devil! Recent count was she somehow got one of my husbands hats and ripped the back off of it. I swear she opens doors and climbs! Last night I was making porkchops and waiting for the oven to heat up and I heard some strange noises coming from behind me. Of course it was Trixie trying to get the pan off of the counter! All I can do is laugh! LOL That's a Tri! So far Kiya hasn't gotten into too much but I know it will be soon….very soon. :p

    Yeah, it is a hairless kitten (not very cute in the pic though) He liked to unroll Squiggys tail and watch it roll up again. I will try and take some better pictures this weekend.

    @lvoss: Maybe it is because I live with black and whites but I have never thought of their faces as less expressive. I love their heads. I love the b/w heads too. I think the wrinkles are a big part of the expression and I can see those clearly on the b/w male better than I can see them on the brindle male. I never thought much of the b/w's…...till I got one.....or two.:rolleyes: :D
