    Hello everyone! My name is Stephanie and i recently adopted a dog from the shelter that I believe is a basenji.. In fact, I’ve been so captivated by this breed that I have never heard of, that I have been calling her Basenji! She is a wonderful dog. I just have a lot of questions and hope to learn more about her breed on this forum. The only characteristic of a basenji that she does not have is that her ears do not stick up. They have the extra little flap, but they droop. I know she has been abused and maybe she’s still learning to trust me.. but everything else about her screams BASENJI!!

    He was a terror from day 1 We have an old Rescue dog if he would be on the couch Joey would walk up and just look at him until he would jump down it was hilarious. Nothing was safe on the counter unless it was in the middle. He would swing his paw up and swipe stuff right off. But he was a real affectionate boy as well I sure miss him 🙁

    What a sweet face! Thank you for taking her in, she needs a forever home. As Pat indicated, unless you have info on the parents being clear, or at least one clear, she should be tested for Fanconi asap.

    Luzambo, I too had one pass last March. After that I was left with one and said once he passed, I was going to be done with dogs – too much of work and emotional strain. Yep, I was going to be free to... well, to do something. Then I found a little girl related to Brie just 2 weeks later and 6 months later I have yet another. Yes, they're a lot of work at times, but so is most everything in life. I love having them around and the house would be often boring otherwise. I'm sure Pharaoh and my Brie are hanging out in their private club looking down on us saying "what are you guys doing down there?" And with a signature like yours, I don't think you'll be waiting long. Welcome to the forum!
