Basenji Talk
  • I got Cali from the Humane Society and they had her as a Basenji mix, but they do not know what she is mixed with because she was brought in as a stray. Of all the dogs that I said I would never get, the Jack Russell Terrier was one of them. My vet said she looks like she is mixed with some sort of Terrier. I have been doing research on the internet and I am starting to believe that Cali is mixed with Jack Russell:eek: She has the personality of a Basenji and makes the weird screaming/woofing and other noises that I can not describe. She also barks when she sees other dogs outside and at people, but never in the house. Her barking drives me crazy because it so high pitched. I have a couple of pictures posted of Cali on the Post pictures section under Pictures of Cali. Does anyone else agree that she looks like she is mixed with Jack Russell? From reading the Basenjis owner manual she definitely has the dominant basenji gene, but her extra hyperness has made me wonder if she is part Jack Russell.

  • She is so cute… I would say for sure there is JR in the mix... and hpyer goes to Basenji too... so a lethal mix... Jack/Basenji...Basenji/Jack...

  • You may want do an internet search on Decker Giant Rat Terriers. The have basenji mixed in and some of the pics look similar to your Cali.

  • On tv this morning they showed some dogs that were to be adopted at Petsmart from the Humane Society. One of them they said was a basenji/terrier mix. That dog was huge and he didn't look anything like a basenji to me. No batwing ears but the tail was curled.

    @elbrant The first time I took Ibis lure coursing: I let go, and she ran straight to the lunch stand! It was in the opposite direction of the field. I don't think she could figure out why a dog would run after an empty bag, when everyone knows, they're much more interesting when heavy!

    Mine are naked in the house, but they are older and not inclined to leave, even if a gate is left open. We wear Nick Russell Safety-choke, similar in theory to martingale in that it snugs up when the dog pulls. We walk in harnesses, it is safer for their old necks and spines.

    Home is a dog's "territory" and sometimes they will protect it as such (especially against other dogs)… Possibly the breeder is concerned this would be an issue. Maybe she would consider meeting somewhere "neutral" with you and some of the dogs...

    @Jylly18: THanks everyone for the advice, she ended up being fine, I fed her this morning and no throw-up when we got home :) I was just worried cause she has never done it more than once before. Its funny about how you said you put her over the toilet, my husband managed to hold her over the garbage when she threw up, so she looked ridiculous but at least it made no mess! HaHaHa! That conjures up a picture!

    Sanitized bone should be fine… however like you said, these days I would not trust the "goo"... .... especially now that they have found that for many of the foods that "claimed" they didn't have rice, wheat, corn as the protein source, they really did.... or on the package it was listed as "protein source" that turned to be one of the above glutens...
