The ears say Basenji. I have never replied but felt I had to this time. I have a Basenji-Pitbull mix named Daisy. It was Daisy's ears (and behavior) that I discovered her to be part Basenji. I have not found another breed with the ears such as Basenji's have. I'm sure I will get "crap" because I have not had DNA or other testing done but there is no mistaking, Daisy is part Basenji. I think its important to know if your dog is part Basenji because in Daisy's case she is 98% Basenji and 2% pitbull concerning her behaviors and personality. Daisy is 2 years old and it has been quite a learning experience owning such a smart, stubborn, loving, mind of her own, amazing dog! Daisy is a mix but I have to train, teach, go outside to yell out frustrations cause of her (and no I'm not kidding, but never in front of her) and all that goes with a pure Basenji because trying to train her like a normal dog does not work.
Basenji on the Today Show!
-
I was just watching the Today show and there was a segment on a guy named Bill who rescues dogs and trains them to be in broadway shows, tv, etc etc. He was being interviewed on his couch at home and there was a basenji sitting on the lap of the interviewer!
-
Cool! I'm sorry I missed it!
-
Yeah! I was half watching while getting ready for work and I saw a little red face w/ white stripe and became glued to watching the little guy/girl. The basenji was really well behaved and just sitting there. Toward the end of the interview the basenji turned around and was laying flat on the couch with it's back toward the interviewer - as if to say "ok, you can go now!" so funny!
-
So typical for a B! Very funny!

That is an awesome story!!! I am proud of anyone who can take a Basenji with a shady past and make it a movie star. It's hard enough to take one with a good background and just train it to become a pet, LOL.:D

That is a great story! The basenji is certainly a beautiful one!
Thanks for sharing
