Sadly im looking for a good home for my basengi mix

    i am sadly unable to give my basengi terrier mix dog the time he deserves. i refuse to give him away to just anyone, he is a great dog, so i keep him. if anyone knows of a loving, permanent home for him id like to find a good home for him. i went from having a teenager to now 3 and one more on the way and the poor dog gets no attention. he is fully trained, lovable and good with other non- agressive dogs. im having a hard time dealing with having to get rid of him, so im gonna be really picky, i just know he needs more attention and time we cant seem to find anymore. it seems like he is depressed, which makes me sad too! he is verry sensitive and smart, also truly loyal. we live in ohio. if anyone is interested sincerely and absolutely loves dogs let me know.
    thanks

    Why can't the teens help out? Seems like good responsible character building. Sigh. Good luck on finding him a home.

    @allyn said in Basenji mix?: Meanwhile I know that like a Basenji, he should never be off leash, and we always need to make sure the gate is securely shut, I have had Basenjis for a long, long time now. I have always let them run off lead in the woods away from traffic. They have all been taught - and I have had up to eight at a time although am now down to one, soon to be two (!) - to return to me if I whistle. Basenjis CAN be taught to run free and to obey commands. Yes, gates should be kept shut, tightly, at all times. But away from traffic, they can be trained to behave and allowed to run free. I have bought a puppy sling for my new boy so I can take him to the woods with Hoover, and let him meet lots of people and thoroughly socialise until he has had his shots. I don't intend to deprive Hoover of her freedom just because of the puppy. He will learn to walk on a leash but mostly he'll be the hunter nature intended him to be.

    Hi there. I would do some DNA testing on him. However, if you go to the Colorado Basenji Rescue website, there is a mix at the bottom of the page. There appears to be some similarities. You could also email Peggy of CBR with your photos and ask her. She has been working with Basenji and Basenji mixes for a long, long time.

    As others have said - thank you for recognizing the qualities of the 'mature' dog. Best of luck to you and your new companions.
