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.
Peony & Dojo would like to say Hello!!

Hi,
I know who you are
I've seen you a couple of times at dog-shows, f.e. Hannover-Garbsen with beautiful belle.Katrin
-
Are you going to Hannover?
I will be there with my male Kwame, it will be our last show in germany:( -
Yes, I will be in Hannover with Peony & Dojo.
Do you also show Belle?
-
First pics of P & D are here:
-
No I am only taking Kwame as I am going on my own and Belle isn't keen on being left at the side of the ring on her own and as I will be using the soft crate I didn't want her to claw her way out.
She has her 1st show in England on the 12th December so I'm looking forward to seeing all my friends there as I havn't seen any of them since Crufts 07, though I was just spectating as my mum was judging her other breed so I couldn't show:(
The pics are great:D
See you at Hannover. -

Hello Katrin!!
Welcome to the forum, Grützi from Swissland!
Beautiful dogs!! Lycia and I are thinking of possibly moving to Germany this winter, maybe we'll catch you!

Welcome! You fur kids are beautiful. I love the face of the brindle boy. Good luck at the show!
-
Thanks for the "good luck" Hope both do well at the show. Training today was pretty good, so I thing it'll be ok at the show.
@schouiffy
Any plans yet for your stay in germany? Where do you wanna go? -
No confirmed plans, as of yet. But they should solidify with in the next few weeks. We have been thinking of "wintering" in Berlin until February. We also we'll be in Münich visiting some friends. I'm really excited to go, since there are so many more B's in Germany than Switzerland. In fact Lycia's father, C-Quest's Echo of Eldorado is there as well.
