Rare Brindle Basenji?????

    If you google the 'trindle' or pointed brindle tri, there isn't a whole lot to see. To me it looks like a tricolor with only markings in the 'red' portion of the coat. Is there such a thing as a tri with the red markings in the black part of the coat? Like stripes? Most stripes I've seen are black on red, not red on black.

    @lvoss:

    As with most brindles, I think the overall look depends on the quality of the stripes. I have seen some nicely marked Trindles and some that just look muddy. Some judges have made a big deal about the color because it is not explicitly described in our standard. AKC has argued that the wording for a tri color dog in our standard is loose enough to include brindle pointed tri. Fanciers argue round and round on the point. Since color is something that everyone can see it is something that everyone has an opinion on.

    So it's up to the individual judge?

    Boy that is the truth about the fancy and arguments about color…. again, we all need to learn to look past the color but that doesn't mean that people will breed for it... because people always will have a preference. And true with Brindles and the quality of the stripes... I know of one dog around here that you would be hard pressed most days to even find the stripes.. but they really are there....

    Judges should follow the standard, since there is nothing that says that these colors are not acceptable, just maybe not totally spelled out.. that said, judges should NOT be judging color period IMO

    DQ = Disqualification…

    I know that look. He's thinking... "Please leave the room so I can shred this awful coat!"

    He also looks like he's thinking that someone is going to pay big time for dressing him up in that coat! That is a definite "I am NOT amused" look! :D

    Soooo, according to this BYB a Brindle Basenji is worth more $$$?!?!? My Brindle Basenji/Whippet mix was $100.00 from the animal shelter!!! Even us first-time basenji owners, that have done their research, know that brindle is not rare. Here in Knoxville I have only seen about 3 purebred basenjis, although I hear there are more around town. 2 were R/W, 1 was Tri-Colored and the tri-colored won 2nd place in a local contest!!! COOL!

    I have a capped tri.
    His color is kind of rare in that breeders did not breed for it because most thought it was not desirable. (read that somewhere)
    I like it, I got him from BRAT and he was picked out for me. So, I didnt get much of a choice :) although I fell in love with him from the first picture that was sent.
    Tri, capped, B&W, R&W….I would not trade him and of course I would spend alot more than I paid for him to keep him :D
    undesirable or not.

    He's a great looking dog and removes the Evil - Doberman look of the Tri that some find intimidating

    I love the mask though:D they just look so sharp.
    Squiggy's "BRAT bro" has his mask, so we say they wrestle over it, or over who is better looking:D
    They are both handsome.

    There is a capped tri on BRAT (Digo) now.
    He looks like he would make someone a great pet. helping him overcome his shyness would be so rewarding.
    I looked into fostering him when BRAT aquired him but he may not have done well with another male (he was intact at the time) and they were unsure about cats.
    But, gosh, he just pulled my heart strings.

    Interesting, I email a person on nextdaypets about their Basenjis for sale, and to their credit they did do Fanconi testing.. however their puppy prices are based on color… I asked her how come and she said that the color that sells the faster is the highest price.. sigh... so much breeding to improve the breed.... and not for a cash "crop"

    @planetsaver said in Basenji for me or not ?: Will be a problem to leave him alone, let's say 10 days / month an average of 9 hours a day. Also I do not want to have to much trouble with the neighbours, but I understand he can make some noise sometimes, maybe he can be trained to stay alone and not to bark that much. Why would you even think about training a hunting hound to stay home alone ? I would never let my Basenjis alone for more than 4 hours, and even that is very rare. 3 hours is absolute maximum. Like @tanza, I have sold puppies into apartment environments as long as all other boxes ticked positive. Someone there all the time, proper attention to training, not just leaving the dog alone, especially not as a puppy. btw, he won't bark at all. As you would know if you had really researched the breed. He will cry and scream but not bark ! No. At least you are asking questions but I really think you should find another breed.

    Blue happens when there is an absence of red pigment. Some breeders try for them - Nocturnals for one. I think there was a move towards 'mahogany' too, a couple of years back.

    Where I am it costs about $2K+ for a dog from a breeder for just about any breed. Goldens may be less because the litters are so large. That may seem like a lot, but, as Debra mentions, dogs cost money to care for. After vet bills and boarding fees and food, it matters little what the dog cost to acquire. Leaving true puppy mills out of the discussion, given the costs of being a responsible breeder -- testing, vet bills, feeding -- and how much work breeding is, I can't imagine anyone doing it for the money. That leads to two problems for people looking for dogs. One is that since breeding isn't really lucrative, there aren't a ton of breeders, which means the supply of pups is low. Second is that most Basenji breeders want to place their pups in the best possible homes -- remember they aren't doing it for the money -- which means they're looking for people who have had Basenjis before. Something of a Catch-22.

    @Thana: she does have basenji characteristics then apart from her colours and looks.- i also think she must have some basenji blood! She is lovely and lucky no matter what! adorable little face:))))) Having read about the characteristics I think she does. The lady with the basenji that we met also commented on some of the things she was doing as "very basenji" (eg. standing on her back legs so she could see what was going on). Has a lovely wrinkly forehead too. Got very frustrated with me earlier and did her funny bark, more of a wierd howl really. She is def one of a kind. Its a shame we have to have her spayed (not that I could ever justify letting her have a litter).

    lol usually when you breed a bigger dog to a smaller dog the Male is the tiny one. Its just dangerous to do it the other way around. As far as DNA breed testing I would go for it if I could. But i am just interested in those kinds of tests. We offer them at our clinic but i haven't ever seen results for them.

    These dogs will get your attention when they want it NO MATTER WHAT!!!! My B, Sahara will get up on my shoulders when I am on the computer, sitting in the recliner and anywhere else she wants to be. The first 2 wks. I had her home she slept on my shoulder all nestled into my neck, I couldn't make her get down, she was so little and sweet. Check out my B's pics on the Show Off Your Dog post unter Senji Fashion, Basenji Boy posted them for me, I was having trouble getting them to upload. Sahara is so proud of her butt, take a look, funny!!!!!
