I've hunted deer with my basenji in emergency situations during archery season. She has helped me find several wounded deer in the woods after dark. Basenjis are easily distracted by other trails and other deer scents so you need to make them associate the smell of deer blood with getting a raw venison treat. My basenji found a deer for me the first time I tried it with her. Most dogs need extensive training for this but she picked it up in 10 minutes. She has helped me a great deal. If there is no blood on the ground however it'd be tough depending on the wind direction, and they usually get distracted by diverging deer trails if there is no blood to follow.
Hi, new here…

Looks mostly shepard to me… but everyone is welcome....

Sidney is adorable! Thanks for the pic and welcome to the forum.
Do you have a pic of Sidney's body? There may be some finer points of body type that the more experienced B or Bmix owner can spot.
Again, welcome.

Thank you….Here is her full body shot.....We really don't care what she's mixed with...she's just such a treat and way toooo smart for her own good (or ours)....

Well if "she is way to smart for her own good", you'll probably find a lot of threads that relate to her (i.e. dogs that outsmart their owners and make all kinds of mischief!)
She is a sweet looking girl. Glad to have you here! Don't worry about the mix thing, some of us have other breeds as well. I've got a super quiet basenji (I get to hear a baroo maybe once a week when he really gets to playing in the park) and a not-so-super-quiet beagle who I get to hear a LOT more often than once a week!

Welcome to the forum! Lovely pup you have there!
-
Yes, very sweet dog! I have two b-mixes: a basenji-pug and a basenji-boston terrier. I think you'll find the info and advice on this forum really helpful. I know I have!
-
Hello,
She looks great and bright, glad she has a good home!

Thanks so much for the warm welcomes….:)

Welcome to the pack! I don't see much basenji in her (but then I'm not a breeder either) but she's good looking never the less. Is she shepherd-size (cant' quite tell from the picture).
