Basenji Mix all the instincts

Member Introductions
  • Adopted an nervous little Black and White mc Nab type who was in welp, surprise. Beautiful Gorgeous pups. Sire Basenji.
    Kept two pups. Most Beautiful Gate. Live Water sports, Mountains, They are magnificent. Own Fenced Yard to explore. premium care, training attention affection Most of the yard had been excavated, 5 cats killed, 3 attacked survivors. Chickens elsewhere I know of a least one. All the moles, squirrels and rattle snakes eliminated. Siding on house took a beating. Impossible to fool. Despite my best efforts they can fool me into thinking they were not nearby and run 30 mph out the gate to go hunting then return when thirsty. For each challenge and behavior that You resolve. A new one will present.
    I wouldn’t trade it for the world.
    There loyalty is beyond words.
    No slobbering, dog odor either.
    Very good house manners. Still I keep an eye on my shoes. Kimm

  • This is kind of an ode to Basenjis!!!

  • Sounds like they have an ideal life - the sort that is denied to all too many Basenjis ! Lucky little dogs !

    (Not sure I'd let them continue to kill cats though ?)

    @elbrant - Better place to see what a Basenji looks like is on the BCOA site, www.basenji.org and go to https://basenji.org/index.php/shop/books-cd-s-illustrated-standard/illustrated-standard. You can review on line

    Okay he's cute, I certainly wouldn't be surprised if a mix... but without a DNA test, no way to really tell. Barking... well basenjis bark, but for most it is a single Boof.. pause... booof. Not the bow wow wow rhythm of other dogs. Oh shedding... they shed but nothing like my other breeds. We get a shed out in early summer. Otherwise, unless sick, not much shedding. I have only had 3 basenjis... they all hated water, one so much that getting her to potty if the ground is we is a serious issue.

    @Gigi said in Newbie, I think I have a Basenji Mix?: @eeeefarm She only barks if she actually sees or hears something - and it will be more than one bark, but she is by no means yappy - could be the collie in her :) Then again, when I tell Bailey to get the" red" or "green" ball, is she seeing the same "red" or "green" that I'm seeing, or is it just by word association, who knows? She always gets it right. I agree talking to our dog keeps them engaged with us. Here's a bit of news for you.. we don't see the same red and green as other humans. Not just those with various types of color blindness, but in general. Take one of those color vision tests with someone and you'll see when you rank things, or decide if blue or green, or if you can see the numbers in the pics. Neitz confirmed that dogs actually do see color, but many fewer colors than normal humans do. Instead of seeing the rainbow as violet, blue, blue-green, green, yellow, orange and red, dogs would see it as dark blue, light blue, gray, light yellow, darker yellow (sort of brown), and very dark gray.Oct 20, 2008 Psychology Today"
