New basenji owner in WA

seanb

Hi everyone! I am new and PROUD basenji owner from Kent WA :D. Tuesday my boyfriend drove 360 miles to Tri-Cities and back, to rescue our basenji from the local animal shelter. Our baby B's name is Zoe and she is a year and a half old and the sweetest girl ever. I hope to share stories and learn a lot here.

Nice looking dog - does she have much in the way of face wrinkles? Can't tell exactly from the photo - I think the wrinkles add so much to their expressions.

Hello from Oregon! My bf and I just got our first basenji this year as well, a puppy in February. If you end up lure coursing maybe we will get the chance to meet sometime, or if you ever end up in the Portland area. Good luck with your girl, she's gorgeous!

We actually got a chance to get out of town this weekend, visiting family in Boise. I am happy to announce 15 week old Dude has been crated in the back of my 4runner for a 400 mile trip from Portland to Boise with potty breaks every hour and a half and hasnt made a sound! He is normally crated for 5 hours a day weekdays while I work and is quiet without accidents but I am amazed that he has done so well for 7 hours on the road. Cant wait to settle down and cuddle the puppy now

Thank you! I think she does. At first, i thought she might be mixed with red nose pitbull, because of her eyes and snout. But after looking at some podenco pictures, i think that is what she is mixed with.

This is almost exactly what she looks like, except she is a lot shorter.

she doesn't have very many wrinkles on her face, probably lost that feature with her mix. but she definitely makes some cute expressions
