    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!!

    You should share a photo of your mix. We'd all love to meet her.

    Thanks for your warm welcome! I'll ask my daughter to take some digital pics of our Sheba to post! We'll try to get some good forehead wrinkles – when she's got those terrific ears up and forward! Her tail's straight and droopy, though -- that's where the "mix" really shows! So far -- she sometimes reminds me very much of a cat (I know far more about kitties than basenjis.) Even the way she bats a tennis ball about -- "soccer-style" -- is quite feline. But she is NOT aloof. She's definitely a people pooch! A snuggler. I am delighted she's joined the family. Will post pics soon, I hope -- Thanks -- Sheba's Mom

    Hi and welcome! When you let her out, I hope you are out also. Sadly, underground fencing is very dangerous… call the closest 10 shelters to find how many dogs they pick up with collars. They get excited, run through it, then can't come back. Also, while it might normally keep your dog in, it won't keep others OUT. But with supervision, they are GREAT so that they get freedom but you are there if a problem arises.
