Could be a Basenji owner?

  • She is absolutely beautiful. I too noticed the paws. You don't see very many dogs with the deer like legs and paws (so dainty). She definately looks like a basenji mix and they do LOVE to chew. Trick is to always have lots and lots of chew toys around to keep them busy. There are some great threads on here about toys our B's like (you may have already seen that). Welcome and again what a gorgeous dog!

  • Yea, looks like a Basenji mix to me, she is beautiful, and she has that B look, you know the one, "I am Regal, look how pretty I am", haha!!!! Watch that chewing, I suggest you inspect your furniture, they will chew up things in the house, my B has chewed up lots of my stuff. She has lots of toys, and chew treats, so watch out!!!! We are in the process of teaching "Leave It", and we are making progress. This breed is so one of a kind, I have had lots of dogs myself over the years, and she is my favorite, and worth the stuff I have lost due to those teeth. haha!!!!:D

  • yep. you've got a basenji mix. no turning back now.

    she's beautiful.

  • Oh, what doll baby! Her head just screams "Basenji" at me. I, too, think you've got a Basenji mix.

    Welcome to the forum!

  • i think she has that look in her eyes…

    gorgeous baby, so glad you guys found eachother

  • Well, don't know if really a B mix, but totally cute…. and obviously by the story she was meant to live with you!!!!

  • She must be part basenji as she was clever enought to pretend to be part of your uncle pack :D . This save her life :cool: , good the pound staff made a mistake!
    How stupid can they be to recall for a dog to be killed :confused: they should have been please she was safe.
    Take good care of her!

  • Looks like a pretty Basenji mix to me as well. Welcome to the forum, join the insanity!:D

  • I, too, think her head is purely Basenji!

  • Hello and welcome. Maggie looks basenji to me too. I agree with what someone else wrote about the "deer legs." She is gorgeous and very lucky to have you in her life.

    Welcome aboard, but do share his registered name ? Who are Dad and Mom and what was his date of birth so we can be sure to add him to the Basenji pedigree on-line database (with a photo ???) for the world to share him. http://www.pedigrees.zandebasenjis.com/

    Another thing I've done with mine, I use the patio door to get to the garage when we go for rides and the side door of the house when we go for walks (the front door is never used for anything). That way my dogs always head in a certain direction when "escaping" out a particular door. Although a trainer told me not to that (she insisted dogs need to be kept guessing), it has so far worked for me. Even when the two escapes happened, it was in the particular direction for that door.
  • Very possible Basenji owner????
