Pictures of my basenji mix

Show Off Your Dog
  • I see the basenji, but not the whippet part - no clue. But he's adorable and looks pretty fast to me. Maybe take him to a coursing?

  • Yep looks fast to me too! Very cute.

  • Pictures 2 and 3 look very basenji like to me, what a sweet JRT. They are lucky to have you and you are lucky to have them. So nice when they can enjoy each others company.

  • that puppy looks very basenji-ish.

  • She does look very basenji - and behaves more like a basenji, than anything else. She is spot on 20 lbs - which seems maybe a bit small if she was mixed with whippet (?) She was described as basenji/whippet x by the pound but I once had a german shepherd puppy that the pound called a terrier x, so I think sometimes it is best guess based on what the dog looked like to someone at the moment.

    She is longer than a basenji with a long straight tail and the ears are wide set and huge which may not be showing in the original pictures. Here are some other pictures that show her ears and more of her body.

    I am not positive about the lure coursing as it is hard to know what will take her interest. Or if interested once, she may not do it again! Plus - she is not purebred - not sure if that matters.

  • Thanks! The B x had failed out of her original home as I believe she was way too much dog. I think she likes it here and is devoted to my JRT who is truly a sweetheart. And they play and play and then curl up together. I was slightly worried at first as they are both female and both breeds are not known for their pacifist natures. But the JRT has a very deep wellspring of patience and the B is not nasty just naughty. Fingers crossed that my good luck continues.

    Only registered purebreds can do AKC or ASFA coursing. However you can register her with AKC as a mixed breed, then she can do the Coursing Ability Test (after she is 1 year old). The CAT is for all breeds and mixes too. It is the AKC Canine Partners registration. Go to www.akc.org and seach for Canine Partners program

  • I have a question. Our 3 B's are all adoptees (rescues), all are full Basenji, we've had them tested by the Wisdom Panel Purebred Certification Test, but have not the slightest clue as to their bloodlines. What do we do to get them approved for lure coursing?

  • hey the pics are so sweet! maybe it is in the tail??? as the replies go-basenji=ish!!! cutie and cudos for the adoption!!!

    For AKC, look into the ILP program. I have no idea about ASFA, but maybe once you have your ILP AKC number, you can transfer to ASFA

    I can see why someone would think there was Terrier, but I'm not so sure about Basenji. (The only way to know for sure is to do a DNA test.) Both of your dogs look very similar. What breed, or mix, is the older one?

    Wow! That is certainly a fascinating mix! ;-) Two sighthounds and a Spitz in there, so will probably see much the same sorts of behaviour as Bs….I bet she's quite a runner too! Good look with your girl!
  • Basenji mixed with…?

    The traits you described are also found in most of the Nordic/spitz type dogs. I don't see anything overly basenji-ish about him in the pics. What ever he is, he's very hansome.

    Rafismom, we started him out in a crate, but he hated it. Cried something fierce. We then started leaving him in my son's room, and he was absolutely fine….well, until he started crying again. Then we gave him roam of the house while we were gone, and have had no problems at all. Yes, I know. I'm lucky! He absolutely hates for us to leave, but he's good while we are gone. No complaints here, for sure. Maybe it's the possible black lab that mixed in that makes him so calm? He has his moments, especially outside when he sees a squirrel, etc., but overall he's a very calm pooch. Just last week, I was walking the dog at a local park when I hear a woman saying something about the dog. She was a good distance away. I then realize she was talking to me and asked if my dog was friendly. I said, "yes" and she came over to pet him. She told me that the dog reminded her of her first dog. She said her first dog was a basenji. After more chatting, she said that it was actually a basenji mix, but that my dog looked a lot like hers. She told me how much she loved that dog and told me all sorts of stories about her. Such a nice lady. Gave me a few bits of advice and about a half hour later we parted ways. This is my first dog, and I've been amazed at how friendly other dog people are when I'm walking him. This has been a great experience.
