  • People tend to assume Mattie is a boy as well. Then they check and realize the error. I guess I could doll her up with a pink collar or something, but my son would probably have a fit. I think she looks like a sweet little girl no matter what they think.

  • Ok no cheating :D :p I'm Not putting there names cuz that would give it away ..

    Can you guess if they are females or males just by looking at there face ???? :p

  • Ok…totally stereotypical here...the first two are girls, the last a boy, cause the girls are sitting like ladies with their paws together. Plus to me they just have a "Girly" expression, don't know why though...
    I am probably wrong, but just thought I would guess :)

  • HaHa leave it to boys to lay with there legs open right ? lol lol :) Anymore guesses before i tell ya ??? :)

    I think.. from left to right.. Boy, Girl, Girl… (I'm prob sooo wrong)

  • Nope .. :) From left to right it's …........ Boy, Boy, Girl :D :D
    Aspen is first , Phoenix is second and Cheyanne is 3rd see if i put the names it would have given them away lol :) Although none of them lift there leg when they pee so maybe there all kinda girly :p :p :D :D Although Phoenix only lays down like that with his paws crossed cuz it's a B. Thing however i think if he had little shorts on u would see him in the pic sitting there with his paw down his shorts lol :)

  • When we took Lola for her second set of shots, the doctor was EXTREMELY nervous & we'd never seen him at our vet before so I assume he was new at this…. but he called her a he. It kind of irritated me because she was in his hands being examined... um shouldn't he have known?
    And Lola does not have any puppy fat at all (she's 6 months & never had a ton of baby fat to begin with) & since she's brindle, several people at the park have asked if she's a min-pin. They will even identify Booger (red & white) by saying, "Is that a basenji!!?? I've never seen one!?!?) & follow it up with "Is that one yours too?? What is it? Some sort of terrier?"
    I have to remember our breed isn't very common & try not to get defensive. Heehee.
    It is fun because not too long ago I met a woman at the park who asked me all sorts of questions about them. The next time we showed up, she was there. Somebody else started to ask questions about them, and she took over, telling them all she knew. It was really funny, a practical stranger listing off every detail she knew about my dogs.

  • For some reason people always hear Dallas' name & assume he's a she. I didn't realize that Dallas sounded like a female name…hmmm...

    & I actually was asked in Petsmart on Saturday if Dallas was a chihuaua!!!! I had heard the more common mistakes like a fox terrier, jack russell, etc. but a chihuahua?!? Come on people!!!

    I think Dallas is a real boy's name!

    And about the chihuahua.. They really do look like them…:p

    Only about 15 lbs. too big! Dallas could eat a chihuahua…and probably would if I'd let him. LOL

    Haha.. same with Mirtillo…

    We have two Chi's in the neighborhood. They drive me crazy with their barking... So happy that Mirtillo only lets out a yodel now and then :D

  • I have a neutered male and people always mistake him for a female - I assume because they dont see any dangling "monkey brains" ….lol.

    In general, aren't females smaller in frame than males? I have noticed that females are usually smaller. But as mentioned by someone, if ppl arent familiar with the breed they wont know the difference.

    @Janneke: I agree.. and I really like the Abyssinian, which is a cat that needs a lot of attentions and play.. These cats have also similar behaviour to Basenjis :). No wonder when this cat comes from Africa :D. I believe she would gets along with Tillo and wouldn't needs a partnership with another cat ;):).

    @Shaye's: My granddaughter has a one year old son who has just been walking recently - when he is in our home, both my B's back away from him - I do believe it's because of the eye level contact. When Evan is on the floor, neither dog minds sniffing him and being around him, but when he is on his feet, they become wary. At that point, everyone is watching very closely - any sign of the wrong kind of contact, and they would be put into a separate room. So far, so good - but children do sometimes have a different kind of energy that makes dogs nervous, so to be safe if your dog shows aggression, hire a behaviorist, and separate them until they learn. The most likely reason is the way in which they move. It is kind of hurkey-jerky, and unpredictable…dogs don't like that much. And they naturally stare at things that are interesting. Little kids also don't have much sense about when it is okay to reach out towards a dog, and when it isn't. Most adults have grown to be able to read a dog even a little, and if the dog looks nervous, they don't reach out...but kids, nope..they reach out no matter what :) Again, dogs can't predict what they will do, and their typical warnings don't stop a child. I have always said, the trouble with dogs and kids doesn't happen when you bring the baby home...it is when the baby starts walking!
