Introducing Dakota

Member Introductions
  • Hi:
    We just adopted little Dakota she is about 5 months old and we were originally told she was a Sheppard lab mix. I think they have it all wrong. I think she is part basenji and then maybe a bit Sheppard. She has the white sox’s and white tipped tail. She has the wrinkled forehead (my pics do not show this well). We live in S Florida I have a DD 3 yrs old and expecting another girl January 2nd. Here is one picture the rest were posted on the other thread. I need to get some better ones.

  • She is very cute! Good for you for adopting her. Where abouts in FL are you? We are in Tampa and get together with other basenjis and their humans on a regular basis.

    Not sure of the size limit, there used to be information about this but I can't find it. I typically downsize to 800 x 600 pixels, 75% quality, and that works well. Size is usually under 100 kb.

    Agree with tanza, it's not good to overdo pain meds. An animal that doesn't feel the warning signal is far more likely to cause themselves harm. We want to protect them from discomfort, but at times that is absolutely the wrong thing to do.

    @betsy - I am familiar with the breeders, but none of mine are related. Have a great time with your pup

    Remember, a tired Basenji is a good Basenji… and also it is much harder to introduce a puppy to olders in the house... I would guess while you think he is "after" them... he just wants to play... you have to that that position... if they don't want to play with him.... Puppies play hard... usually adults will correct wild childs play... but they still need an outlet for all their built up energy...

    Hi Sharon; sorry this has taken me so long to get back, I am a home health caregiver and work 12 hour shifts so time schedules are often tight. This forum is one of my pleasurable moments. Anyway….to answer your question, we got our Basenji's from a breeder in Buffalo Minnesota (female) and Minneapolis Minnesota (male). Sorry, don't remember the breeders names.
