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.

But she is registered in Switzerland, isn?t she? Have you ever heard about Lycia?s sister Hannah ekibondo and her success on shows ?

She is .. we lived in Switzerland for a year and then moved to Paris. But we'll be going back.
I have indeed heard about Hannah, she seems to be doing great!! the whole litter was a good looking bunch.
