Basenji in a windstorm!

    Hey Everyone, thought I'd share a quick story about the puppy…

    Yesterday, Bassit made me laugh and laugh. We've only had her for about 2 weeks now, and so this is the first really windy day that I've walked her. It was the longest, funniest walk of my life. Every single leaf that blew by caused her to stop, stare intently at it, stare up at me, and watch it again! It completely blew her mind!

    LoL, Rocky does the same thing but he goes chasing after the leaves… that is of course until he sees another leaf that grabs his short attention span :)

    B's are just awesome.

    That would be a cute video to see, the pup and the leaves.

    Gossy does that when we go for walks - it's funny but also a little scary when she's staring down a leaf in the street and cars are coming.

    God forbid a leaf blow nearby when Ruby is trying to poop, because that is pretty much the end of any output from her. She is too much…a very short attention span. :D:D

    There's nothing like a basenji in the works, from the way they instinctively lay with their had on the bum looking the other way ( I've never met a B that doesn't) to the way you KNOW they all rub on wet towels or play bow…it's all very endearing and in this breed you often identify traits that they all have, an insight into their genetics and their behaviors. I've never enjoyed a breed so much.

    Oh Barklessdog, you are a brave person. I must now stand with you in insane-solidarity and admit I bought it too. It is awful but when you get the line "we couldn't say goodbye so we took him home" part, you know you got to help support the woman. lol

    @Thana: she does have basenji characteristics then apart from her colours and looks.- i also think she must have some basenji blood! She is lovely and lucky no matter what! adorable little face:))))) Having read about the characteristics I think she does. The lady with the basenji that we met also commented on some of the things she was doing as "very basenji" (eg. standing on her back legs so she could see what was going on). Has a lovely wrinkly forehead too. Got very frustrated with me earlier and did her funny bark, more of a wierd howl really. She is def one of a kind. Its a shame we have to have her spayed (not that I could ever justify letting her have a litter).

    lol usually when you breed a bigger dog to a smaller dog the Male is the tiny one. Its just dangerous to do it the other way around. As far as DNA breed testing I would go for it if I could. But i am just interested in those kinds of tests. We offer them at our clinic but i haven't ever seen results for them.
