I have had the pleasure of owning both breeds. There is another forum member here who also has a basenji and a Shiba. Lol, they are both very stubborn breeds. Depending on what you want they are very different though. Shibas need a lot of care for grooming, they blow a lot of coat and can get matted fur, on the other hand they make a very good watch dog. Basenjis don't bark but make a multitude of other noises. Their coat is nice and short for less grooming, though they too blow coat, just not as bad as a Shiba. They both maintain puppy characteristics their whole lives and live long lives. I think our Shiba was 16 when we lost her. Both need a lot of socialization, with both people and dogs. This is a must. Good luck with whatever breed you choose. Look at parents for temperament and do your reading on health problems and make sure you adopt from a reputable breeder.

Hi everyone, my name is Luke and my wife and I recently picked up our purebred trindle basenji from a breeder in Riverside, CA. His name is Troy and he is such a cute little rascal who loves to chew on everything at the moment. Looking forward to asking questions and relating with your community in general. Thanks.

Welcome to the forum! Your puppy is very nice.
The tri male in that litter caught my eye early on and looks like he turned out to be breeder's pick. Very nice litter overall. -
