Wow. do you know anything about his pedigree? And what color are his eyes? nose? Can't wait to see more pics.

I have a blue malinois.

[YodelDogs]

I love dilutes! Does this guy have a blue nose and paw pads?

[Basenjimamma]

He looks gorgeous, but then again I have a weakness for brindles..yes tell us more, what is his story..?

[Tegs]

I don't know much about him yet. He's a little over a year old (not sure how much over); has pink pads and a pink and black nose. He lost his eye as a puppy and was sold that way by the breeder. I don't know his pedigree, I'm trying to figure out more information about it. I just got done taking the pups out and I got another 20 or so shots of him, I'll post the link in a minute as soon as they are done uploading!

OK more like 50 pictures! LOL Isn't he a knockout?

I'm a sucker for tongue shots!

Look at me!

I think this weed compliments my eye…

Zoooooomie!

Oh, My… he is awesome.

[agilebasenji]

Interesting! His eye color looks like the same color as my blue mali's. Her nose is not-quite-black. Looks black, but if you look really close, it's not. Her pads are a pinky/taupe-ish color and her nails are a blue-ish brown.

[Basenjimamma]

He is gorgeous..what a color.

[nobarkus]

He's a great looking Basenji!! My second Basenji Nika lost her eye at 10 years old and she adjusted quite quickly. The internal lens became loose and slipped, the eye turn cloudy, then blood red. She ran around just like she had both eyes.

I love the photo with the tongue…and the permanent wink! His color is really striking, hopefully he will find a very special forever home.

Thanks to you for fostering him and Sharron for rescuing him!

Okay, you can stop posting those great photos and stop telling us about all his nice points. I have enough dogs right now thank you.

How to get him to Kansas: Fly? Would be one heck of a BUR run, he's in WA state (Vancouver, bordered with Portland, OR). He's pretty bomb proof so I think he could fly just fine. I dropped several noisy things on purpose last night when he wasn't watching and he just looked.

Cats: Yes, he's good with cats. No screaming, pulling, chasing, etc. He goes up curious and just looks at them when they make funny sounds.

House Trained: Yes, not 1 accident. Figured out the dog door in less than 5 minutes by watching the other 2 and taking a couple turns himself.

Crate Trained: Yes. He whines a little bit when put in, not too loud and only 5 minutes or so. He bolts out when opened, we've been working on this the past 2 days and he's getting better!

Male Dominant: No. He likes other dogs and would do best with a playmate. He is intact and will be neutered Friday. At a LC trial on Sunday he met plenty of other B's and hummed at a few but no lunging or screaming, etc. Properly introduced I feel he would fall in line with the current boss with no problem.

He's so handsome - I hope he finds a forever home soon. x

[jonny b.]

HE sounds perfect. what is the going rate for him and a plane ticket? daughter has a room mate that owns the house so that is the Point of question. he is so beautiful.. i am not sure i will be able to let him go. lol…. but i do NOT NEED another b in my house. 2 is pretty busy. i am POSITIVE i cannot walk another one. those two drag me silly.
squirrels and rabbits are NOT my friends. and blowing leaves, and birds, and ... well you get the idea. lol

[agilebasenji]

My experience is that brindle boy basenjis are the most perfect dogs. Mine has never done anything wrong and has full house prividges even when we're not home. Always has. I was hoping you could place him near me so that I could see him often and maybe help train him. But, unfortunately, I'm not in the market for another pup.

Jonny b - maybe with only one eye this one would only see 1/2 the squirrels, rabbits, leaves and birds
