It is difficult to tell a tri Rat Terrier from a tri Basenji in some of the shelter photos. I have to ask does it have a tail and what type!

What is your favorite color pattern?

Sahara is my favorite color, and of course she is R & W, but I must say that B & W are my second fav. Arti is the most handsome B & W I have seen followed by Jasper of Basenji Park. If I were to have another B it would be Black and White if I could resist another Sahara, haha!!!!!!!!!! You gotta love these dogs b/c they sure can destroy your stuff, Sahara has that's for sure. I found chew marks this week on my wood daybed in my guest room, I have chew marks everywhere. I use bitter apple but it has not worked, any suggestions?

I love all the colors pretty equally…but if I *had to choose a favorite, I think I would choose tri, with a small white blaze

I love-love-love the red and whites by far, with white wiskers. I think with the lighter brighter color of the red you can see more details of the dog like wrinkles, muscles, things like that (especially in photos). Alote of white on the body is cool too. I like the basenji's that have more white than they are supposed to. Tri's are my second fav.Although B&W's look very shiney in the sun not really into that color.I always hear that black dogs at the shelters are really hard to adopt out because to most people the light bright or unique colors (blues) stand out. All the colors are pretty neat though, as long as its a basenji the dog is A-O-K in my book! As far as brindle I'm usually not into that with the exception of "one" that I met along time ago it was a deep red with thin neat SOLID black stripes on the back all separated and parallel to each other. So pretty! I guess I just really like the red and white because they are traditional and I have read that you see them the most in Africa!

Black and white is the color I was first attracted to and is my favorite but I have come to really like all the colors.

Youngandtired-actually Jasper is a brindle…it's Willy that's the GORGEOUS b/w

Okay, I was hesitant to reply to this thread (other than to compliment all of your dogs!), but I guess I will weigh in:
I have always loved the R/Ws - I "ordered" one (LOL), but the one bitch didn't take and there were only R/W males. That's how we ended up with Nala, our beautiful tri.
I have to say that now, since joining this forum, I really could not decide which color I like best. They are all beautiful and each dog is unique and special with their own personalities and personally, I'd take them all!!! -
Seems judges favor Reds from my experience.
No one talks about Trindles?
That's one combination I really do not like (sorry if someone here has one)you going to have to show me some fantastic ones!

go here to see a fabulous trindle…if it doesn't take you directly to his page go to "Tazi" on the scroll bar on the left.
I don't mind trindles...I have seen some great ones. I think if the stripes aren't REALLY clearly defined in the tan, it just looks kinda murky...so that detracts from the look.

Sophie's sire is a trindle and I think he is quite handsome. A real sweetheart too.
-
Christy - lovely looking tri! I like it as well. Can't say i've seen one like it before.
just a question… what is the little grey thing by his tail?
-
My least favorite color is Trindle, while I can appreciate a good dog regardless of colow, I don't want a Trindle, I am too partcial to Tri's to accept the muddy color of a Trindle…against the clear color of a Tri... but again... that is me... and yes it is only color... but we all have our preferences...
-
If it's a Basenji I like em all! I've had tri ,red/wht and blk. No brindle yet.

Thank you! He's my buddy.
The little grey thing is one of my past hairless kittens.
Kind of like a little alien.
He enjoyed unraveling Squiggys tail and watching it roll back up.Furless cats and barkless dogs….who would have thought up that

And even with that preference it didn't stop you from co-breeding a litter with a trindle sire. Having a preference for a color doesn't mean we can't appreciate a dog of a different color and even use those dogs in a breeding program.

So it's Willy, anyways BB knew what I meant, he knows which B&W is the most handsome, he has ribbons to prove it, he is so beautiful, I want one someday, maybe, I really love R & W too.
