Some years back, during our Shiba Inu and Jindo period our Jindo developed a terrible rash and wht with her licking turned into huge hot spots, loss of hair and everything. Our vet narrowed it down to a grain alergy, suggested we go to an avocado based food, AvoDerm. Within 2 weeks she stopped itching and chewing, and 6 months later all her hair was grown out. As time went by she developed a beautiful luxurious coat, never had another problem with alergies or skin problems. We realize that B's dont have the long double coats like Shibas or Jindos, but our philosophy is if it ain't broke don't fix it, so we have just continued feeding AvoDerm to our B's as we accumulated our pack. The main problem with it is, if we feed them as reccomended they gain weight, so we really have to watch their diet.
Hello from the Central Valley

Hi there. I was rescued by my (I think) Basenji-mix, Copper, in March. He is about 1-year old now (the vet thinks). After some comments at the pet store and doing more research, I am pretty certain he is mostly Basenji. He definitely has the behavior traits!
As I learn more about Basenji's, I am more in love with them! If/when my housing situation permits, Copper will get a new friend. Until then, we enjoy our jog/walks, the dog park, daycare and just running the B-500 at home.
So happy to have found you all. I hope to get an album of my distract-o-pup up soon.

Welcome welcome! I love how you said that YOU were rescued by Copper.
I believe rescue dogs are special and will come into someone's life when THEY need rescuing.And yes, we love seeing pictures here!

I am not quite sure about his mix, with the longer body. I think his tail may have been broken near the base early on but…
Here are a few pics.
