  • Just joined the forums to learn more about Basenji's. We got our dog Luna about 2 years ago as a pup from one of the local animal rescue organizations here in Columbus, Ohio. From the best that we have been able to determine she is mainly Basenji. She has pretty much all the exact characteristics of a Basenji, but she is completely yellow/gold, no white patches like all the other Basenji's I have seen. She can also bark, but also makes all of the other odd sounds that I have heard of Besenji's making. We purchased one of the breed DNA test to find out exactly what she is, but I'm sure once I post some pics you all will agree she is 90% Basenji.

  • Hello and Welcome to the forum! Can't wait to see the pics :)

  • Welcome, from another Ohioan. We are on the north side of columbus and have 1 r/w boy. We have occasionaly taken him to the Westerville dog park but his behavior has not be great lately. We have cut back. We also help BRAT transport and foster. Great to have more B's in Ohio. I see so few of them in Columbus.

    Aggression is an all encompassing term. As pointed out above, there is quite a range! It is not unusual for Basenjis to be dog aggressive. Mine is, and I just avoid other dogs because I know his intentions are not good. Some are same sex aggressive and fine with members of the opposite sex, and some may just be making a statement when they are leashed. If you describe what you are seeing more specifically I am sure lots of people will have common experiences and possible training fixes to share. I would love to see some pictures of Tucker, and welcome to the forum!

    Welcome and so sorry to hear about the health issues of your two B's…. Thank you for opening up your home to them... And Thank Goodness we now have DNA tests for Fanconi so that no Basenji ever has to suffer with this horrible affliction.
