  • This is my first post here or in any forum, never had a reason until I got my puppy. I rescued him from the SPCA when we was approx. 4 months? They said he was a hound shepard mix. But someone at the dog park asked if he was a Basenji, so I started to do some research, and he has almost all the characteristics and features. I am gonna work on a pic. He is a great little dog, just gotta work on the pee trails around the house.

  • Welcome, can't wait to see pics

  • Hello and welcome to the forum. I too have a rescued basenji mix. The shelter had her listed as a whippet mix. We had her a short time before the first person mentioned "basenji" as a possiblity. They were RIGHT. Like you, we researched the breed and we have no doubt she is part b. I look forward to seeing pics of your little fella.

  • Welcome Erik & how great that your rescued your little one. Post some pics & I'm sure some of our experts here will give you a definite assesment :)

  • Welcome Erik:
    You are going to have so much fun with your new little one. Can't hardly wait to hear some of your funny stories to come as he grows up.:D
    Waiting in antisipation for your photos,
    Tanga:)

  • Congratulations and welcome!

    Welcome and congratulations! I have two BRATS myself, and a third basenji as well. So beware, they ARE like potato chips (You can't have just one) I love her name, she is gorgeous. Can't wait to hear all about her Homecoming!

    @Rita: Pat yes we did get Jaycee's AKC application at the time we got her. Have not got cert back yet as we were really slow in her name made us slow in mailing. Rita Jean Great, it would be good if you gave Sally W the information for her website to update the pedigrees. Many of us rely heavily on the pedigree site when thinking about breeding and researching dogs…. You can do contact Sally at Zande Basenjis (just do a seach for her website and drop her an email with the info)....

    Welcome to the forum. Great story too. I especially like the description of your other dog "Betty the Sheprador Chowtriever ." That's Funny! My basenji/whippet mix also came from a local shelter. She wasn't there long enough, or perhaps they didn't know much about bs, but they only had her listed as whippet mix. Didn't take long for a dog savy friend of mine to mention the word "basenji." No doubt in my mind, she is basenji and something. I picked her out and my mother paid for her. Best Christmas present I ever got!
