My wife and adopted a 7 year old guy from BRAT this past December and he does the same thing. He's a retired puppy mill stud that never learned how to climb stairs until he was "freed." If he gets a running start, he can leap a step or two, but if he walks up to steps, he goes up backwards, just like in the video. He also has a phobia with certain door thresholds. But don't worry. He's a super fun little guy who just has a few little quirks. He can outrun his 12 year old B-sister in the yard, but she always beats him up the stairs.

What a beauty!

Just so we are clear here for everybody, that is Avongara Siri of Brushy Run, and her owner, and those that have seen her in person, describe her as a blue fawn, not a cream.
Blue fawn is a comon color in several breeds of dog, the first one that comes to my mind is pit bulls, as I have a friend with a BEAUTIFUL blue fawn girl.
And, yes, I think Siri is one of the most beautiful basenjis I have ever seen pics of
I wish I could see her in person. -
I agree, she is a striking dog, absolutely beautiful, I would love to see her live as well.

I wish I could see her in person.I have seen Siri in person and she is a beautiful basenji with a truly lovely temperament. It is too bad that she only had one litter but at least the girls from that litter have been bred from. I had really wanted to use one of her sons but they had all been neutered by the time I contacted Bev.

Reminds me lots of our newest addition, Lukuru Amisi (scoll down to the bottom of the page http://www.basenji.org/NativeStock/ImportIndex.htm) and isn't he handsome!

It should be noted that Amisi is truly just a pale red which illustrates how if someone only catch glimpses of Native dogs on their travels it may be difficult to know what you are looking at.

Exactly…. but the great part I think is the deep dark mascara around the eyes on both dogs.... that gives them (IMO) that far off look...

There are some great pictures of Amisi and Dr Jo's other imports here, they really show the color well. http://fopawsbasenjipuppies.com/african_basenjis_and_dr_jo
