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.

Hello!!:)
My name is Lotta and I live in Sweden. I have one basenji and it?s my first…I have had Golden retriever and Great dane before.
Viggo is 2 year and 3 months old and he gained his swedish championtitle in januari. In 2007 he was the best "Basenjipuppy of the year" and last year he climb all the way up to #5 over the best basenjimales in Sweden. Do I have to say that I am very proud of him??!!;):D
Yesterday we where at a show in Malm? and he was second in championclass and third best male. Not to bad to be the first time in championclass.:DMy family also consist my husband (and his 3 hunting dogs) and our son Jonathan. This was a little about me...
