    Hey guys, I'm Jonathan, and this is my new buddy Kingston. We think he is mixed Basenji and Australian Shepherd (he was adopted on May 5th from an Austin shelter). I am a personal trainer and pedicabber, He is a royal pain in the ass!! But I love him to death. Seriously, anyone else have a mix? How do you not love them all the way to death? 😅 I digress. Apart from chewing on things, he loves to run around and attempt to destroy things. He truly lives up to the Basenji breed, as far as I have read. I'm excited to have a place to learn a little more about his temperament, and especially looking forward to training tips and advice!

    Having trouble uploading picture of him from iOS. I'll figure it out shortly, or do it on computer later.

    Aggression is an all encompassing term. As pointed out above, there is quite a range! It is not unusual for Basenjis to be dog aggressive. Mine is, and I just avoid other dogs because I know his intentions are not good. Some are same sex aggressive and fine with members of the opposite sex, and some may just be making a statement when they are leashed. If you describe what you are seeing more specifically I am sure lots of people will have common experiences and possible training fixes to share. I would love to see some pictures of Tucker, and welcome to the forum!

    I look forward to your pictures. I'm a technophobe too - I keep telling myself I can do it but so far haven't posted any. One of my bitches was spoiled for the show ring by such a judge who didn't know how to approach a hound (although he was a Saluki judge and should have!). She was experienced at showing as well but was traumatised because when she backed away at his front on, silly voice approach she nearly fell from the table! Of course she blamed the fall on his approach. I worked on her intensively but to no avail. Yes, Basenjis on the whole are friendly and they never forget a friend either!
