Boy are you two lucky EL D crossed the rainbow bridge - he was BY FAR the best basenji Of course Luny is fast catching up.

@JazzysMom:

Oh, I think you may be mistaken. While it is true that Lola is a fine Basenji, the BEST BASENJI position was actually already taken, in a tie between Jazzy and Keoki.

Just wanted to clear that up for ya! :p

Well I suppose we are all entitled to our own opinions, however wrong they may be heehee

Hello??? Have you SEEN my dogs? Better go take another look-see at my photos. You'll be convinced….... trust me... :p

I LOVE tris…but we have a majority of reds When I first got into the breed I thought red was IT for us...and that tris looked 'funny'....but now I find them the most striking. Followed closely by red for me. Then BW and then brindle. I am VERY picky what I find pleasing with brindles, but I have seen some beauties.

Although I think Medjai is a great looking tri, my favorite is the brindles with very little white. I just think some of them scream native dog.

They are indeed quite cute, but I'm still not convinced. Lola can out-cute anything! (Although basenjis sneaking through doggie doors is a tough act to compete with!)
Even other basenji owners at lure coursing events just fawn over her!

I have to agree with the above. I have a R/W and a light brindle but I think the dark brindles are stunning.

I also wouldn't mind a handsome B/W with a white collar and a small white stripe up the face (I think it makes their eyes stand out).

Never liked Tris until I came here to the forums. Still, I think I'd tire of everyone asking me if it was a Min Pin:eek:

[etzbseder]

I've only had a couple people ask if it's a min pin or a chiwawa, but most of the people just ask "what is that" as if Medjai's some sort of alien.

I have to completely agree. Ha, ha, you want to talk about picky…I'm not a huge fan of dark brindle (although I have seen some fantastic ones), I like the red brindle (so medium or light) but most important to me is the striping...and that can make it or break it for me with brindles (on either dark or light).

I obviously love reds. I have 2 reds...of the 2, Ruby has the really dark chestnut red coat which I find stunning. I'm sentimental about reds because the b my brother had when I was a kid was a red. My next favourite is b&w (with little white on the face and if I want to get really picky...long sleeves). Tied for 3rd is red brindle & tri. 4th is dark brindle.

I saw a really light red (almost fawn colour like the Lukuru pup that Pat posted a few months back) this summer who was out of Michael Work's last trip to the Congo I think...Bernadette...she was awesome. So that would be a neat colour as well.

Wiley would like to share a pic that NO ONE can out cute

Not sure however that I'm clever enough to attach the picture - I do it so seldom that I always have to trial and error a couple of times.

Keep trialing and erroring so we'll get to see if you're right ("a pic that NO ONE can out cute")
