It's been my experience that sometimes my basenji just gets it in her head that she doesn't like another dog, and for seemingly no good reason. I have been able to mitigate her behavior, but this is not a cure….
First, an excited basenji is a biting basenji. Make sure he's calm. Make him sit. Exert your dominance. Stand over your dog, look him in the eye. You need to snap him out of his mindset and remind him that you're in charge and he doesn't need to be aggressive.
It will take time and patience, but he can be made more comfortable...
I've also found that walking together as a "pack" helps. The two humans in the middle, the dogs held on a very short leash to either side, and you ignore your dog's aggression, focusing them on the walk itself. After a short while, they should just about forget one another. But this also acclimates them to each other. Good luck!

Yes the rest of the body seems on poit but what is up with the face it looks a bit distorted

Yes, Bboy-there are better ones out there. I've seen a few really good pieces. If you ever get to the Nationals, there is usually a woman there who does some good ones.

IMO is awful! No Basenji face looks like that. Basenjis are cute and adorable!
Reminds me of the Maytag commercial where the Maytag man does something and messes up the batch of stuffed animals…I think Mr. Maytag was involved with this charm too! -
There are a number of charms sold on ebay….

i bought my wife a nice basenji charm several years ago. It was pretty nice. I had to order it as most dog places/stores/gifts (unless at a dog show) do not carry basenji stuff.
