Hi I’m Stephanie!

  • Hello everyone! My name is Stephanie and i recently adopted a dog from the shelter that I believe is a basenji.. In fact, I’ve been so captivated by this breed that I have never heard of, that I have been calling her Basenji! She is a wonderful dog. I just have a lot of questions and hope to learn more about her breed on this forum. The only characteristic of a basenji that she does not have is that her ears do not stick up. They have the extra little flap, but they droop. I know she has been abused and maybe she’s still learning to trust me.. but everything else about her screams BASENJI!!

  • Hi Stephanie, welcome and welcome to the breed.

  • You should share a photo of your mix. We'd all love to meet her.

    He was a terror from day 1 We have an old Rescue dog if he would be on the couch Joey would walk up and just look at him until he would jump down it was hilarious. Nothing was safe on the counter unless it was in the middle. He would swing his paw up and swipe stuff right off. But he was a real affectionate boy as well I sure miss him 🙁

    A tired Basenji?!!! Joking apart, I agree with the previous posts. It is really important that she doesn't get something for nothing as Wizard advises make her work for it. Welcome to the Forum to you,Teagan and the others.

    Her name is Mattie and she is a real sweetie. My son brought her home from a mission trip in Appalachia. She has become my shadow and we just can't imagine not having her around.
