Growing the perfect dog nose


  • I love how puppies of any breed have really flat faces compaired to as they grow. I hadn't realized how long Zaire's nose had grown untill I was looking at a more recent picture. Here are three pictures for Yall.

    The first one is the day I brought her home.

    Here is one from about a month after she came home.

    And finaly the GREAT nose shot from last week.


  • great observation about the nose. Zaire is sure a beautiful girl!


  • Thank you …oh and it's a good thing too. I keep telling her she is lucky she is so good lookign or I would put her in a soup. :P Of course with CHarlie I alwayse threaten to BBQ him....I really hope my neighbors get my sense of humor. :D


  • We tell Nicky she would make great stew, but would require long slow cooking to get her tender. We used to threaten one of our early basenjis with making a pair of gloves out of her…we all have a pretty silly sense of humor, don't we?

    Anne in Tampa, who makes stew FOR Nicky, not out of her, haha


  • @MacPack:

    we all have a pretty silly sense of humor, don't we?

    Of course…..that's why we can all put up with being owned by these CRAZY dogs. :D


  • wonderful series of photos…
    Glad you thought of it...and share it!


  • I used to tell Booger I was going to toss him off our third story porch into the woods… until two weeks ago we came home & couldn't find him. We leave the back porch door open thinking he couldn't come to harm. We started calling him & he came running to the front door. We inspected the bushes underneath our porch, which were in disarray & leads us to believe he either fell or jumped off the porch. We have no idea how long he was out on his own, with no collar!!!! in a huge apartment complex with coyotes in the woods behind us! And he didn't have a scratch on him!!!!!!!!!! Its not such a funny threat anymore.


  • @Andrew:

    Its not such a funny threat anymore.

    Oh so he did it on purpose to teach you a lesson. ;)
    Isn't that the way with these little devils…...you have to be carefull what you say....they hear everything. :D

    I used Wisdom Panel for my assumed Basenji mix. It showed no basenji at all. My boy is 32 lbs and short hair. His DNA says he is 25% American Eskimo 12.5% Boston Terrier 12.5% Chow Chow 12.5% German Shepherd 12.5% Miniature Schnauzer 25% Breed Group-Sporting, Herding, Hound, Terrier. Having owned basenjis all my life I would say my boy has basenji in him by his personality and behavior regardless of what his dna says!!

    I was living in Ghana for a few years and the year before I left had gotten my dog as a puppy from a neighbor. We became so attached, of course, that I couldn't leave him behind. It actually was very easy to bring a dog into the country–only a proof of rabies vaccination was required (surprising since the US has the strictest immigration laws for people!). He has adjusted very well, loves taking walks with a leash (in ghana he would run wild, and follow me around on my bicycle.) He refuses to walk in wet grass, though, which is something I think he shares with basenjis? I didn't post any pictures of how his forehead wrinkles--that's when he looks most like a basenji!
