  • I received this on another list I'm on {I think a few of you are there too}.
    I have no info. other than what is posted here, but figured it wouldn't hurt to spread the word.
    If you have an idea of where this dog belongs, let me know and I'll pass the info along.

    Hello all -

    I live in Hudson Massachusetts. This morning I visited our dog pound
    to confirm that the dog officer has a basenji in his custody.

    Female, red/white, sweet disposition, looks to be well fed. I have a
    photo... email me & I'll send it to you. As far as I know, the pound
    does not scan the dogs it brings in.

    I'm trying to spread the word. Someone must be missing this sweet girl!

    Well, take care and get better. When you are up to it, the conversation can continue. For now, chicken soup, tea, lots of rest and follow doctor's orders.

    @Thana: she does have basenji characteristics then apart from her colours and looks.- i also think she must have some basenji blood! She is lovely and lucky no matter what! adorable little face:))))) Having read about the characteristics I think she does. The lady with the basenji that we met also commented on some of the things she was doing as "very basenji" (eg. standing on her back legs so she could see what was going on). Has a lovely wrinkly forehead too. Got very frustrated with me earlier and did her funny bark, more of a wierd howl really. She is def one of a kind. Its a shame we have to have her spayed (not that I could ever justify letting her have a litter).

    My Rue is pretty perfect. She is mixed with something (I don't know what) so she doesn't look like a real B… and she isn't interested in anything in our house (chewing wise), doesn't bolt out the door, and licks like CRAZY! She also doesn't really like to play with other dogs at the dog park, she just smells them, occasionally chases them, then comes back and lays down by me (EXERCISE DANG IT!). The only normal B behaviors that I see in her are the little noises that she makes (she makes a lot of them for different reasons) and her BAROOOOOOO (which is fitting because we named her Rue before we even knew she was a Basenji) and it seems like she is stubborn about sitting. It's like she is saying, "yeah I know you want me to sit, but first I'm gonna spin around in a circle. Then maybe I'll sit if I feel like it." Haha! She is a character!
