    @docgonzo said in Which dog fits me best?: There is no other dog like a Basenji. Nearly every breed from poodles to pit bulls have retained approximately 8% of wolf genetics. Being an “Ancient” and the “daddy” of most Of today’s domesticated breeds, the Basenji retains approximately 24% of the Wolves genetics. A recent study also determined that of all breeds the Basenji has one of the largest “play drives” (You will find this out quickly) which was key and essential to the domestication of all dogs. The Basenji is truly unique genetically and in in temperament. This dog responds quickly to kindness and a soft touch, NOT yelling and physicality. YOU WILL NOT WIN A BATTLE OF WILLS. Adapt & overcome. LOL, This info will come in handy for the next couple of years. Congratulations, amazing animals. So true. Even when life defeats them they revenge themselves. My 13 year old B tried unsuccessfully to jump up on the bed. When she unceremoniously fell off - twice, she turned around and bit the doona before running out of the room.

    @Shaye's: Shaye is from the old Gaelic, and it means independence and courage, which describes my little girl exactly - especially the "independence" part! I really like that! Good choice :) @ Jisgard: beautiful wrinkles! Very nice head in total :)

    @Duke: Very sweet photo. Well - now that you have two - have you decided it was the coolest thing you could do for Chance? Does he bother your cat less now? I love it when Duke and Daisy are "communicating" together. They have what I call a true brother-sister bond, or a love-hate relationship. I think they appreciate each other, but Duke would never enjoy cuddling up with his sister, she respects that though she probably would like it. Thank you, I think Chance definitely appreciates another basenji in the house, although sometimes he probably wishes she would share a little bit more. They are working on that.. The cat is getting less attention now from Chance, but we have to watch carefully now, because when he does get attention its usually both the dogs trying to dominate him.
