    My name is Angela & I have a wonderful Basenji/ Chihuahua mix, Chelsea. I rescued her as a small puppy in October of 2014 & was told she was a Chi only. it took a couple months of watching her grow & investigating to come to the conclusion she was mixed with Basenji! I had never even heard of this bread so obviously had never dealt with one.
    While she is probably the most independent hard headed puppy I have ever been around…I love her to pieces!! she is so entertaining & unique. I will post pics as soon as possible. Thank you so much for welcoming me into this group.

    Hi Angela. I didn't see your post in the 'new posts" threads and just noticed today over on the side. Welcome to the forum. We'd love to see pictures!

    I also missed this one. Welcome to the forum!

    Thank you for adopting this beauty. She looks so much like my first basenji.

    Aggression is an all encompassing term. As pointed out above, there is quite a range! It is not unusual for Basenjis to be dog aggressive. Mine is, and I just avoid other dogs because I know his intentions are not good. Some are same sex aggressive and fine with members of the opposite sex, and some may just be making a statement when they are leashed. If you describe what you are seeing more specifically I am sure lots of people will have common experiences and possible training fixes to share. I would love to see some pictures of Tucker, and welcome to the forum!

    Welcome! Sounds like you are doing all the right work to make your little girl part of your family. Poor Eski - is he trying to teach her some manners or just hiding out? Our 2 B's were rescues, too, the second one abandoned in the desert "so he could be wild" (according to the owners that the shelter located via his microchip). Crazy! Who knows why, but we're thrilled that our two found their way to us.
