We have three rescues; our recent one folks keep telling us is a Basenji mix

    We are looking for some insight on what our little 9 month old curly tailed girl is. When she was the tiny runt of the litter that no one wanted, we took her and thought she was a rednosed pit because of her nose and eye coloring. Now she seems to fit the profile of the Basenji....maybe hound mix? Thoughts? Not certain is this is how you post a photo here, but could not find another way....

    I'm not seeing any photo. How big is she? Height and weight? Does she bark? Any other vocalizations?

    To upload a photo, either drag it from your computer into the message window or click on the arrow above the post you are creating (right side symbol) or hotlink it from another site, such as photobucket.

    I'm not sure why your pictures are not showing up. I'm going to experiment.

    O.K. that seems to work. I dragged and dropped it and I see it. Now to check whether others can also see it! This is a picture of my two girls, taken a long time ago......probably in the '80s.

    I am wondering if the picture you are trying to upload is too big. Trying that now. I am not seeing the picture I just uploaded, so that may be the problem.

    Yes, I think that is the key. Downsize your picture and I bet it will work properly. As you see, I get the same uploading message that you did, but no picture, when I try to upload a large file.

    While I applaud you for wanting to rescue this little Basenji, they are not doghouse kind of dogs. They want to be with their human pack as much as possible, and keep in mind that just because they are an African breed, this little girl may have been out of Africa's climate for many generations and may not fare well in intense heat. My black and white girl does not do well in our FLorida heat for example. She prefers the air-conditioned sun she lies in inside the house. Basenjis are escape artists as well, and she may be able to get out of your yard. If you cannot keep this self-cleaning, low shedding dog in the house with you and you cannot locate the owner, Then Basenji Rescue and Transport is a good place to turn to find to find this little girl a loving home with Basenji saavy fosters and adopters. Best of luck to both of you.

    @sleacc said in Basenji Mix?: @martianmaya22 I wish I knew how to enter a photo here ! You can upload from your computer. Click on the symbol 2nd from the right at the top of the compose box. Make sure your picture file is not too large! Or you can link to a picture that is already on line (symbol 5th from right, above).

    Crazy, unusual funny stuff our basenjis do. A topic that will keep us all in stitches even as we may weep over all the other behaviors. Remind our selves why we love these kids soooo much

    , even the strange voices seem to appear in many pariah type dogs. I can so see that, Moses, our almost 9 month old portuguese podengo grande sounds just like a howlling, yodeling basenji at times, then he breaks into this excruciatingly loud bark..

    "We believe he's Basenji and Jack Russell. Actually, I think he's perfect for a disaster work because he can crawl into anything. He can climb on anything. He's like part dog, part cat and part monkey. He can go anywhere. It's amazing. Dogs know how to find things with their nose, naturally." i had always heard part dog, part cat, but throw monkey in there, hahaha. what a wonderful story, jessi.
