Large headed males

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • BarklessdogB

    I was looking at the pictures of the rescue dog Miles and just love how big and square his head is. I think males look really good like that.

    I was wondering if this is considered a breed standard or is it considered off standard?

    or is all to the judge of the day to decide?

    Miles is a faboulous dog either way and think realy he looks great!

    they were very lucky to get a dog thats great looking and has such a great personality.

    [image: 1568761912724-cf26c42d-3b11-4084-adeb-163ff1bb0cdb-resized.jpeg] Best to get all lumps checked out by the vet, they are more qualified than us. Having said that, it’s probably just a lump like this which my dog has had for a couple of years. I asked the vet if they can get rid of it but they said better to leave alone. Fatty lumps are common as they age.

    My Teddy had/has what I would call a rash as well. My vet said it is an allergy (he does occasionally lick his paws also) - at first he thought it was a food allergy but it would go away when the spring rains came. It appears to be related to molds and dust mites instead. I give him salmon oil (not the pills but the real oil), freeze his kibble, regularly clean his blankets etc., and give him oatmeal shampoo baths when it really acts up. I also use dermacton cream if his skin gets too dry. We seem to have it under control.

    I love the look of Baron, now that is a cute basenji :-D I do notice that I love the masculin looking yet sweet B's. The way the muzzle looks is important to me I notice some basenji's have long slender muzzle and to me they look a little rat like, I guess I'm just one for the blockish heads with the shorter muzzle. I also like the super curly tails! All the other traits I really dont care if its a B its cute.
