My Dog Artimis

Show Off Your Dog
  • this is Bear the Boston/lab and Art Boston/IDK they both have the same mom but are from to different litters with two very different dads

    I think he is part basenji because of his build and curly tail. He also doesn't make any noises at all when playing with over dogs. Some times it can get him into trouble because the other dogs don't know when he's had to much

    he loves to out run much larger dogs to make them feel bad

    But sometimes he isn't the most graceful of dogs

    Please let me know what other types of dog you can see in art.

  • He is very cute, could maybe have some Basenji, but there are many different breeds that have tails that curl over the back. Any of the artic breeds, like Akitas has tails that curl and are built like he is… but all are welcome here

  • What ever the mix, he is a cutie…wow! that is some photo of the 2 dogs snarking.

  • Welcome to the forum, you have two nice Dogs. It's possible Art has some Basenji in him looking at the head shot.

    I was living in Ghana for a few years and the year before I left had gotten my dog as a puppy from a neighbor. We became so attached, of course, that I couldn't leave him behind. It actually was very easy to bring a dog into the country–only a proof of rabies vaccination was required (surprising since the US has the strictest immigration laws for people!). He has adjusted very well, loves taking walks with a leash (in ghana he would run wild, and follow me around on my bicycle.) He refuses to walk in wet grass, though, which is something I think he shares with basenjis? I didn't post any pictures of how his forehead wrinkles--that's when he looks most like a basenji!

    @Lovelace: Really? What ones? I don't know of any that have all the criteria? I've done extensive research on the breeds, and i'm curious I don't recall any. I think Pat means lots of dogs have one or more of these traits. Those three things all together MAY be an indication that the dog does have some basenji in it…but not for sure. Because the dog could be a boxer/husky mix...and end up with right color/markings, pointy ears, a curly tail, and have wrinkle on the forehead (lots of dogs have wrinkles around the face). Rat terriers are notorious for looking like Basenjis...but the shape of their head is slightly different, and the breed was founded using some Basenji way back. Another thing to remember is that after several generations of mixing, all dogs tend to go back to a natural or pariah dog shape...squarish, brown, pointy ears, slightly curled tail...that is just the natural phenotype of "dog"...so a dog might end up looking Basenji-ish even if there is no actual Basenji there. I am not refering specifically to the OP...that dog does look like it might have some Basenji in it..or Rat terrier...but it is REALLY hard to say for sure. It doesn't matter really, because everyone is welcome here...Basenji, mix, B-look alike...welcome...
