New update: Tika is no longer in heat! Yay! Remy got neutered and is doing great! We got a dog trainer to come in assess the situation and she thinks it is starting to improve compared to how I described it when I booked her to come. Only Maia seems to need the muzzle, she seems to be very unsure of the puppy. We are working with her to build her confidence. The puppy doesn’t seem to have any stress with Maia around and won’t start anything. The muzzle is on just in case when I am home alone as I don’t want anything bad to happen when if I can’t separate them. The puppy is getting lots of training time to help her learn how to behave properly. With 2 people here we can have the girls on short leashes and they are fine together. They did have a small altercation of snarling but no biting and no one got hurt. The older female backed down and walked away. As much as I want her to be the top dog it seems that the puppy has a much more dominant personality. If they figure out the pack hierchy hopefully everything will settle down. The trainer says there are no pack instincts in domesticated dogs, but after having 6 basenjis I can’t agree with that in regards to basenjis. We can walk the girls together without muzzles now so I think things are more positive and they seem to be improving every day. When Remy is healed from his neuter I will get the puppy spayed and hope that calms things down even further. So far there is a lot more peace in the house. Please anyone let me know if there is anything else I should be doing to keep these girls on track. Thank you for all your advice and guidance! I am so grateful for this forum as what is normal for other dogs is not so much with these guys!
Which breed is my dog? is he really a basenji?
-
Can someone please tell me which kind of breed i have?

it has bushy tail and some other characteristics..it can bark as hell..
he is very good at barking :D.. and i know basenjis cant really bark so Can someone pls help me with the kind of breed he is?

Could be mixed with most anything. About the best you can do to find out is do a dna wisdom panel.
-
I would say he is definitely a basenji.......I have had 2 basenjis that barked.......They just don't bark as often as other dogs.
-
Doesn't look like a purebred, but definitely has Basenji characteristics. Yes, they can bark, but generally only occasionally and never continuously. Generally just once, or once, then a pause, then again. With my dogs, the ones that barked only did it when startled, or on viewing something they were suspicious or nervous about.
-
Could be a mix.... not a purebred..... very handsome however.
-
@DebraDownSouth okay thank you
-
@jumblie yh i think so but he barks very often. i think he even barks more than some dogs ive owned and thats what made me had doubts he could be a basenji
-
@eeeefarm he can bark continuously..he barks very often and that what confuses me cuz i know basenji barely barks.. but for my dog , he barks very often
-
@tanza thank you

@SmokeyBeatZ-Gh
If you go 45 secs in, you can hear the normal basenji bark... a boof, not bow wow wow of most dogs. -
@DebraDownSouth yh my dog does the "boof" sometimes early in the morning when he sees me..but thats once in a while.. but not often
but he does the "bow wow wow" kind of barking most often.. just like any other dog. he barks better than most dogs i might say -
So maybe a mix. I wish i had done a dna of my chow/coyote with some of the new panels. If you really want to get a good idea, wisdom panel is one of the better ones.

@DebraDownSouth thank u very much dear

And if you do get him DNAed, let us know.
