There are a lot of people at the dog park here (kids and adults) who think Medjai is a chihuahua which always surprises me as there are a lot of chihuahuas which are a third Medjai's size.

My cousin has a Chihuahua mix (found her in a parking lot i believe), looks JUST like Mia when she was a puppy. I showed her a pic and the resemblence was rediculous. Chihuahuas are all different though, not all look like rats. I'd say a really young B pup might look like one but definately not one older than 6 months or so.

I've noticed b/w basenjis seem to really throw people off since I've gotten one. Someone at PetSmart asked if Zoni was an australian sheperd puppy! :eek: Otherwise, I usually get Shiba Inu with Nemo which is at least more similar than Chihuahua. And the local shelter even listed a basenji as a Shiba Inu one time. Uhmmm, no.

Actually, if you look at pics of the Corgi's and Basenji's newborns… they do favor each other. If only those Corgis would grow into their legs, LOL!!!;)

So far the people who have asked me about Shaye simply ask me what kind she is because they never saw one like her before. There are a whole lot of people who are more informed now than they ever were, and many have asked me where they can get one because she looks so great - like all her kind - I refer them to BRAT.

Numerous times I had my 2 out for walks and people asked if they were Chihuahua or Fox terrier. "Basenji"?? It was always great to educate them especially when they at first would say "it's clean, doesn't bark and is the perfect size for my elderly mother who lives in an apartment". "Oh no no no, there's more to it than that".
