Blue tri basenji

    I've never seen a blue tri. It's a beautiful color. It's like a blue grey.

    I have never seen anything like that before. The eyes are also blue, so I am all sorts of confused about that one. I half expected it to have red eyes and be some sort of albino type pup.

    They are not albinos they are dilutes, different genetics. The eye color is dilute just like the coat color.

    So because I know zero about genetics. On their facebook page it says they hope to get more blues by breeding. How hard would that be to get in breeding?

    Wow, I sure would like to see the rest of that dog. He *looks an awful lot like a purebred in the face…but it a possibility that there is some rat terrier, or dobe, or something that frequently carries blue in there. I would also love to see a pedigree to see if it is "different" enough for blue to be a possiblity.

    lol, that would not be hard to do… someone just email the FB owner, I'm sure she would be glad to share...

    looks like the pup is out of a puppymill though :(

    Sometimes people get a little freaked out if you start suggesting that the dog might not be purebred though..then they don't share at all.

    This is one of the blues that was posted somewhere earlier this year from Nocturnal Kennels.

    Dilute is recessive so both parents must carry the gene to produce it. The gene is pretty rare at this point in the gene pool. Unless they know of unrelated dogs that carry the gene and would be willing to use their dog then they will probably have to breed back to the parents, to siblings/half siblings, or aunt/uncles that are known to carry the gene.

    Was there more than one, Lisa? I hadn't seen the pic before. Nice looking dog :)

    I believe there was a blue tri and a blue trindle but I am not positive. I am not sure that they are registrable with AKC.

    Is the general feeling that they are purebred?

    This site is always full of surprises for me! liked seeing the tri-blue very unusual.

    I think the consensus was maybe. Hard to tell for sure from the pics of the pups and parents.

    I went to Sally's website and did find some "Nocturnal" dogs listed, but the registration numbers were strange. Some were clear, some carriers. I also tried to find decendents from the blue dogs May Morning of Sin and Morining Mist of Sin, but that also was a dead end. However, relatives of these dogs have been used.

    I am thinking the blue in the eyes is the reflection, not the color. Blue dobes have brown eyes, just like black ones.

    The tri blue is a beautiful dog - never saw another like it - but if I did I'd grab it in a minute!

    I agree…I think we all agree....I can't imagine why the original founders of our breed wished to get rid of that color. Such a shame.

    I guess I am of the minority…regarding the color... While I can appreciate a good structured dog of any color, I would have a tough time with the Blue.....

    I would have guess the eyes were light, but not really blue. I have a blue malinois and her eyes are a weird greyish color, definately not the brown of our previous (normally colored) malinois. Also Siri, the Avongara blue fawn colored dog, has light colored eyes.

    But I do thing the color in the photo is due to the reflection and not the true eye color

    @planetsaver said in Basenji for me or not ?: Will be a problem to leave him alone, let's say 10 days / month an average of 9 hours a day. Also I do not want to have to much trouble with the neighbours, but I understand he can make some noise sometimes, maybe he can be trained to stay alone and not to bark that much. Why would you even think about training a hunting hound to stay home alone ? I would never let my Basenjis alone for more than 4 hours, and even that is very rare. 3 hours is absolute maximum. Like @tanza, I have sold puppies into apartment environments as long as all other boxes ticked positive. Someone there all the time, proper attention to training, not just leaving the dog alone, especially not as a puppy. btw, he won't bark at all. As you would know if you had really researched the breed. He will cry and scream but not bark ! No. At least you are asking questions but I really think you should find another breed.

    Where I am it costs about $2K+ for a dog from a breeder for just about any breed. Goldens may be less because the litters are so large. That may seem like a lot, but, as Debra mentions, dogs cost money to care for. After vet bills and boarding fees and food, it matters little what the dog cost to acquire. Leaving true puppy mills out of the discussion, given the costs of being a responsible breeder -- testing, vet bills, feeding -- and how much work breeding is, I can't imagine anyone doing it for the money. That leads to two problems for people looking for dogs. One is that since breeding isn't really lucrative, there aren't a ton of breeders, which means the supply of pups is low. Second is that most Basenji breeders want to place their pups in the best possible homes -- remember they aren't doing it for the money -- which means they're looking for people who have had Basenjis before. Something of a Catch-22.

    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.

    I have found that if I take my B to doggie daycare (even if it's only for half a day), she is ehausted when I bring her home. She will let me do the dishes without any basenji help! She also tends to treat our doggie friends a little nicer when they come around. Having a worn out basenji is deifinitely worth the $15!!
