I have had the pleasure of owning both breeds. There is another forum member here who also has a basenji and a Shiba. Lol, they are both very stubborn breeds. Depending on what you want they are very different though. Shibas need a lot of care for grooming, they blow a lot of coat and can get matted fur, on the other hand they make a very good watch dog. Basenjis don't bark but make a multitude of other noises. Their coat is nice and short for less grooming, though they too blow coat, just not as bad as a Shiba. They both maintain puppy characteristics their whole lives and live long lives. I think our Shiba was 16 when we lost her. Both need a lot of socialization, with both people and dogs. This is a must. Good luck with whatever breed you choose. Look at parents for temperament and do your reading on health problems and make sure you adopt from a reputable breeder.

Hello and welcome to the forum:D

ok, the name of the Galga is Vega (such as the star, she came from a rescue organization and is about 5-7 Years old). Gromit is the Basenji-Mix (he is already 6 Years now, time runs fast). Jester is the Basenji male (his pedigree name is Old Legend's Anam Chara), he is three and almost a half Year old now. Then comes Banshee (born in December 2006, Pedigree name is Old Legend's Banshee) and finally our youngster: Panda, born in November 2007 (Pedigree name is Lis Glamur Velikaya Panda-Monkey). All the Basenjis are black and white, Gromit is fula black and Vega's colour is kind of cinnamon with a dark (ok, its getting grey now) mask.
