Houdini is a Basenji

Basenji Talk
  • When my blk/wht, Nika was a puppy at 6 months old she did this amazing escape and reentry. She escapes out of the backyard into the neighbors yard by digging under. Ok simple enough. She then gets out of his yard through the front picket fence (I don't how) and comes back to my house and gets into my front yard through my picket fence (not sure how) and when I pull up in front getting home from work she's sitting on the front porch. There's no place to dig under the picket fences. I don't think an 8lb dog could jump these fences.

  • 8lb at 6 months?… Wow, she was a tiny little girl...

  • Yes Pat I'm most likely incorrect in her weight. I was just best guessing.

  • When Zahra was about 9 months I saw her go through a picket type fence at the dog park at PETA. I am glad that she is bigger now and can't do it anymore. Maybe I better not say that …

    Looks can be so deceiving- here is an article of a woman who adopted a rescue dog in N.J. Dog looks like a basenji - even her vet thought it might be basenji. She did an Embark DNA test - no basenji. Turned out the dog was a mixture of Mountain Cur, Rat Terrier, Beagle, and Boston Terrier. link text

    My Basenji Billy is quite undershot; he's a purebred, his bottom jaw just didn't stop growing when it was supposed to. That's okay, I'm a bit of a sucker for a dog with an underbite anyway.:) He was my first rescue Basenji.

    lol usually when you breed a bigger dog to a smaller dog the Male is the tiny one. Its just dangerous to do it the other way around. As far as DNA breed testing I would go for it if I could. But i am just interested in those kinds of tests. We offer them at our clinic but i haven't ever seen results for them.

    I have found that if I take my B to doggie daycare (even if it's only for half a day), she is ehausted when I bring her home. She will let me do the dishes without any basenji help! She also tends to treat our doggie friends a little nicer when they come around. Having a worn out basenji is deifinitely worth the $15!!
