Cute B-mixes?

Basenji Talk
  • Many of them are probably on accident, unfortunately. Sometimes, some beautiful dogs are the result.

  • Yes, but then you have the designer breeds ie, dogs with good PR and it just adds to the excess animal population.
    Don't get me wrong, I love quality basenji breeders who work to improve the breed we love.
    But these oops dogs, well, they are just more dogs that need homes.
    Sigh.

  • I completely agree with you. I'm not saying people should breed anything with anything. I just thought I'd share a pic of that particular mix. It was cute. Lighten up! Nobody is disagreeing with you! :D :D

  • Sorry if I seem to be a bit grim on this…I do basenji rescue.
    That is all I do.
    I have post every day about some sweet looking dog who is a basenji mix.
    Can I find a home for this dog???
    I am working to save the PB and it breaks my heart I can't save the mixes as well.
    I want all b's and b mixes to have a forever home.
    Sorry again if this is negative.
    Just telling you how it goes in my world.

  • Judging from your signature line, I kinda figured. I can tell that you are very passionate about the breed. That's good. I know how hard it must be to see all the animals who don't find good homes, Basenji or not. I would love to volunteer in an animal shelter someday when all of my children are in school during the day, but I would hate to see any of them have to be euthanized, pure bred or mutt.

  • Hollie is a Basenji/Whippet mix. I got her at a local animal shelter. Don't know if the mix was on purpose or accident and don't care…. Personally I prefer the mixes!!

    Hollie is cute! She has the whippet ears :D ;)

  • I saw on dogster the picture for Hollie with the 2008 Ugliest Dog Contest. I hope she didn't win because she is adorable…with her sweet smile...who could say she is ugly? :)

  • Basenji x Podenco…

    i once saw such a mix and i loved it...

  • my own dog is a B mix. We call him a "boxenji"… boxer + basenji. We adopted our dog from a shelter, so it certainly wasn't a "planned" mixing. I do think it's a great mix though (as an "oops", I'd never advocate "designer" mixed breeds). He has the personality of a B, but the strength of a boxer.

    @sleacc said in Basenji Mix?: @martianmaya22 I wish I knew how to enter a photo here ! You can upload from your computer. Click on the symbol 2nd from the right at the top of the compose box. Make sure your picture file is not too large! Or you can link to a picture that is already on line (symbol 5th from right, above).
  • Which mixes of races is it ?

    You have to change your settings. Or you can upload individual photos with the last icon, the arrow pointing up. Of course, doing a dna test is probably going to give you the most info.

    Hello, you are a great person to try her with all her problems. Do not use leash, maybe you can find a good halter? That way she will trust you more because it is different feeling.

    They are called Diastix. Some drug stores still carry them, but many have to special order them. You can find them online though.
