Basenji in A Advertisement

Basenji Talk


  • Lovely basenji, but I always worry when a dog becomes popular in an ad.
    I remember what happened to the dalmations after the Disney movie.
    BUT thanks for sharing this.
    Who is the basenji from?? its it yours???


  • Interesting how that pup is panting…. makes me wonder about the temperature of the pavement.... people forget how hot it gets and really can and does burn their pads...

    No not mine, I saw the ad in the magazine "Modern Dog" and then looked up the company. Never heard of the company before so I looked it up, it was the only pic of a basenji they had on their website

    Good point, another aspect though is it could have just come from playing at a park or something, I say this more because even though its an ad, the leash is not really tight


  • Your most likely right… but with ads, we know that there could have been 100 takes to get it right.... so I don't think that this pup just came from the park.... Julie and Kathy Jones in So. Cal has had their B's in a couple of different TV shows... and they say it is really a long, long process with lots of retakes... of course this was just a picture shoot... but still I wonder... and it is something to remember when we are all out walking our kids... especially in the hot sun....

    @melduff I for one think this is FANTASTIC news! You guys are so lucky! You have a one of kind super dog with the papers to prove it. Walks around the neighborhood and trips to the dog park are going to be very much fun... Friendly neighbor: Oh, she's so cute! What kind of dog is she? You: Thanks you so much. Why, she's a Staffy Chow Lab Rott Russell Husky. (Ya haff ta memorize that) :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :thumbs_up: Thanks a bunch for letting us know. Very much enjoyed your thread.

    Oh Barklessdog, you are a brave person. I must now stand with you in insane-solidarity and admit I bought it too. It is awful but when you get the line "we couldn't say goodbye so we took him home" part, you know you got to help support the woman. lol

    @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.
