Thinking we're half basenji

Member Introductions
  • Hey Everyone,

    Just recently adopted a new pup - well he's 7 months now and i've had him for 2. It's been suggested to me and after reading all these posts that he looks just like a "B" but he's all black (maybe some lab???) and exhibits so many of the "B" behaviors. This is my first pup and he's proving to be a challenge but we're learning together. I'll add a pic soon enough and maybe we can get to the bottom of it. Thanks for having us! Everyone has such beautiful pups here.

  • Welcome to the forum JackBoy…we'd love to see pic's ... I have a red and white basenji mix also, she's 5 months old and a handful...This is deffiantly the place to be for information or just fun reading...Hope to hear your stories and see pic's soon

  • Welcome Jackboy
    My husband and I have a red and white Basenji boy 4 1/2 mths called Bandit and a 2yr Lowchen boy called Alfie.
    We are revisiting obedience for Alfie for first time training for Bandit.
    We are walking 2 a day with haltis now and what a difference it has made to our walks. Instead of having our arms pulled off, the boys have progressed to walking beside us…. Hooray... and oh so enjoyable.

    Just wondering if he barks or does he make basenji noises? I have to agree he looks more terrier than basenji though.

    Hello again after a very long absence!! My 'chewing' boy now leaves his coat alone - his Mum (now spayed) wears his old hand-me-down coat, and he has his onw snazzy camoflage polar fleece jumper that I made. Can't possibly have it off thankyou!! His half-brother Jerry had his first coat on today - also a 'chewer' - we'll see if it is still on in the morning. Jerry's sister Chloe also got one on today after I managed to keep her still enough to pull it over her head!! Jerry is NOT allowed to touch it thank you!! @kiwir: The thing that annoys me is that he always wore a coat as a puppy - he's just turned 12 months now. But boys being boys, in the last few weeks he thought Mum had come back in season (she hadn't!) so in frustration he gradually chewed her coat - from the back forward - left the polar fleece around her shoulders and chest and neck. And the silly girl just let him - looking at him indulgently - "My boy" I tried making them without the polar neck (designed to stop chewing of the front) - or reinforced them with thick cotton tape - and that lasted a little longer. Now he just looks at me with those eyes saying "Hell, I'm freezing Mum!"
  • Love my Basenji's
