Newbie here! [Manchester, UK]

Hey all, I’ve watched this forum for a long time before getting a basenji and I’ve now had mine for a year, so I guess it’s time for an intro :)
This is Bobby, my little chaos demon. He’s 18 months now and I got him at 6 months. We lived in Vienna until recently.
It’s been a heck of a ride so far. Luckily he’s great with other dogs, but we’re currently working (hard!) on keeping him from getting overstimulated when outside, a couple of suspected allergy issues, and the hardest thing right now is finding a safe space for him to be off leash. We’re also thinking of adopting a 2nd from somebody who unfortunately has to give up their pup.
Anyway, thanks for all of the help so far! This forum has been so helpful.

Handsome brindle!

@senjisilly @elbrant thank you!
His markings really are amazing, he goes from brown in the shade to golden in the sun. He has a dark stripe running down his back which a lot of people confuse for a ridgeback. But people have asked me if he’s a cross Akita, Staffy, Whippet, Fox, pretty much everything 😅
Here’s a little video with his markings:
