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.

    It's settled then. I'm gonna pop it. :) I mess with it sometimes as well. Tucker just wants to sniff and lick my fingers after I'm done scratching at it…then he'll let me go back to work on it. As long as I let him sniff and lick my fingers as I'm messing with it, he'll let me continue and we'll eventually both bore of it and move on...

    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.
