Cute B-mixes?

    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!!

    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? :)

    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.

    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.

    Q
    The coat looks gorgeous - it's just the skin…I have noticed since it is persisting it down here (and cold - well it is Summer...) that the flaking is much better - I wonder if the flat is too dry for him? It has got central heating...which is till occasionally switched on - and it's nearly June :(

    @Forever: I have been looking at him too lol my area my color and he seems sweet and he likes cats too though I can't say my cat will like him. I need to jump in and get my bratt visit done then see what happens. My problem is no fence yet. I know that is a mark against me. It is what keeps me from calling for the visit. We had plans but life happened and no fence again. Zoe seems happy with her daily walks and house play. She doesn't seem to mind being tied outside because we keep her company. I guess when the right time and b happen all will work itself out. But one thing about bratt is my worry about fanconi not sure they are tested. I worry about zoe I dont want that worry with another dog I agree with you… you already know about Zoe... and to adopt another that could be Affected... well, I certainly understand ... and FYI, they are not for the most part DNA tested... it is not something that BRAT requires... I would suppose that if you were interested in a certain dog that you could make that a condition of adoption, that he/she be tested first.... but I have no idea how BRAT would react to that...

    A coupple of issues in this thread! (Way to multi-task here people!) Treats: the whole "upset tummy" is definately a too much of a good thing issue. Whatever you decide to treat with, make them very small and just watch how much you give. My dogs go nuts for bologna or plain ham. Cheese is the perenial favorite, but never underestimate the power of a "Good Boy!!" Coats & "Cold" Weather: My boys have it rough. Living in the Midwest, it is not uncomming to spend all witner in the single digits (not counting windchill which often kicks us into the negative teens, if not worse). Both boys have dog coats made by Lands End in the same style (and cold weather specifications) as their Squall jacket series. It consists of an easy belly band and front chest closure meathod. No worries about tails or legs. Easy on, easy off. And my boys live in them during the winter. Dogs, just like people, quickly acclimate to the weather. If we deicde it's "Cold" at 50 degrees, they start to feel that way. If we decide 50 is downright balmy, the dogs learn that too. Walking: Oh, the perenial issue of B's! I agree with many of the posters here: it's all in the tone and your attitude. If you decide to be upbeat and positive and decisive, the B will follow! (But probably will quit at mile 6 if he hasn't had his ice cream yet… grin)
