Hello and new to Basenji's

Member Introductions
  • Good evening everyone,
    My name is Shell and just adopted what some people call brat. A basenji/rat terier mix. His name is Tag and he is 5 months old. The reason we named him Tag is because he is mostly black but has one square spot on his back that looks just like a price tag, Enhance the name Tag. I have a cattle dog that is just over a year old named Teeka and a pure bred mutt named Freddy. I am a foster mom to. So I have one foster named Bella who is a rat terrier.
    I found this group in the home that I will learn more about basenji's.

    So any info on this breed would be great.

    Shell Mom to my furkids, Teeka,Freddy and Tag

  • Welcome, Shell. I love ratites, so a basenji-rattie mix sounds like a treat. Can't wait for photos!

  • buckle up, you're in for a wild ride! however, basenjis can be addictive.
    welcome

  • Welcome to the board. Please share pictures! Does your guy bark or does he make basenji noises?

    @elbrant That's how all my 8-some learned to catch. If food dropped on the floor - you lost it ! So they all stood on their hind legs and it was like feeding a nest of fledgling sparrows. A gentle toss of the treat and someone caught it !

    Before you get a puppy… go to the Basenji Club of Canada and Basenji Club of America websites and read up on Fanconi and other heritable diseases. ANY breeder not testing for these disease is NOT someone you should spend your time or money on one of their puppies. Too bad you didn't look 4-5 months ago... there was a lovely litter of Khani's pups up in Drumheller! Best of luck to you!

    I welcome you also. Puppies are so adorable. Just remember a quiet Basenji is not necessarily a good thing. After all these years I still forget that one.

    Giza swam in the Atlantic once when we were out walkin' at low tide and the tile came in. The Atlantic in Canada is pretty cold!
