  • We received our Basenji from a friend that had no clue what he was. We were told that he was a 5 month old Min Pin. Vet put him as almost 7 months old, and a Basenji. He has every Basenji trait, mannerisms, etc except he can bark.

    We want to have genetic testing done by a reputable company to verify what Diesel is mixed with. He is up to 18+ pounds now at 9 months old. The older he gets. And the more weight(muscle) that he gains really makes him look more & more like a text book Basenji.
    He has transformed my family.

    I travel the country delivering new RV trailers, and he travels with me. Has been amazing, all whom see him go crazy. He gets treated like a rock star. Quite funny.

    I'll post better pics later.

    I own five basenjis. Two yodel until you have a headache and my female barks. She always did. Short clipped barks. I also researched the breed before getting my first and she is an excellent dog. My third basenji was a handful. Three years later and he has stopped his destructiveness etc. It was a hard three years. Lol. You never know with a basenji. Greatest breed. Loyal, active, funny but some require ALOT of patience.

    @edo_a my email address is in the websites in my signature block. Please send me a .jpg and I will add it. I hope some of the siblings will be registered and that I can add them. But it is important they be tested for PRA too. So if you can make contact with any of them, it would be helpful to suggest it to them

    Mallia is the third Basenji we have the pleasure of having in the last 30 years. She is a female where as the first two were males.

    Hello and welcome to the forum. Can't wait to see pics of Dash, and the rest of the family!!! I do home visits for BRAT. Would love to foster one, but space will not allow it at this time.

    Thanks to all for the warm welcome of basenji owners! We're taking a year off of dog ownership to welcome a foster kid. Actually, we would have liked to foster earlier but our basenji boy was not especially fond of kids, and running activity tended to result in him biting someone in the hiney! Our kids, grown now, will definately be basenji owners someday. Don't know whether my husband and I will or not – we loved Rosco but know we got a good basenji, and don't know if we're ready to lose another room full of furniture to break in a new one! Ha!
