Rare Brindle Basenji?????

Basenji Talk
  • Boy that is the truth about the fancy and arguments about color…. again, we all need to learn to look past the color but that doesn't mean that people will breed for it... because people always will have a preference. And true with Brindles and the quality of the stripes... I know of one dog around here that you would be hard pressed most days to even find the stripes.. but they really are there....

  • @Basenji_Boy:

    So it's up to the individual judge?

    Judges should follow the standard, since there is nothing that says that these colors are not acceptable, just maybe not totally spelled out.. that said, judges should NOT be judging color period IMO

    Yeah, should not be….....:eek:

  • @TuckerVA:

    DQ = Disqualification…

    I know that look. He's thinking... "Please leave the room so I can shred this awful coat!"

    He also looks like he's thinking that someone is going to pay big time for dressing him up in that coat! That is a definite "I am NOT amused" look! :D

  • Soooo, according to this BYB a Brindle Basenji is worth more $$$?!?!? My Brindle Basenji/Whippet mix was $100.00 from the animal shelter!!! Even us first-time basenji owners, that have done their research, know that brindle is not rare. Here in Knoxville I have only seen about 3 purebred basenjis, although I hear there are more around town. 2 were R/W, 1 was Tri-Colored and the tri-colored won 2nd place in a local contest!!! COOL!

  • I have a capped tri.
    His color is kind of rare in that breeders did not breed for it because most thought it was not desirable. (read that somewhere)
    I like it, I got him from BRAT and he was picked out for me. So, I didnt get much of a choice :) although I fell in love with him from the first picture that was sent.
    Tri, capped, B&W, R&W….I would not trade him and of course I would spend alot more than I paid for him to keep him :D
    undesirable or not.

  • He's a great looking dog and removes the Evil - Doberman look of the Tri that some find intimidating

    I love the mask though:D they just look so sharp.
    Squiggy's "BRAT bro" has his mask, so we say they wrestle over it, or over who is better looking:D
    They are both handsome.

    There is a capped tri on BRAT (Digo) now.
    He looks like he would make someone a great pet. helping him overcome his shyness would be so rewarding.
    I looked into fostering him when BRAT aquired him but he may not have done well with another male (he was intact at the time) and they were unsure about cats.
    But, gosh, he just pulled my heart strings.

  • Interesting, I email a person on nextdaypets about their Basenjis for sale, and to their credit they did do Fanconi testing.. however their puppy prices are based on color… I asked her how come and she said that the color that sells the faster is the highest price.. sigh... so much breeding to improve the breed.... and not for a cash "crop"

    @planetsaver said in Basenji for me or not ?: Will be a problem to leave him alone, let's say 10 days / month an average of 9 hours a day. Also I do not want to have to much trouble with the neighbours, but I understand he can make some noise sometimes, maybe he can be trained to stay alone and not to bark that much. Why would you even think about training a hunting hound to stay home alone ? I would never let my Basenjis alone for more than 4 hours, and even that is very rare. 3 hours is absolute maximum. Like @tanza, I have sold puppies into apartment environments as long as all other boxes ticked positive. Someone there all the time, proper attention to training, not just leaving the dog alone, especially not as a puppy. btw, he won't bark at all. As you would know if you had really researched the breed. He will cry and scream but not bark ! No. At least you are asking questions but I really think you should find another breed.

    Last I heard, the Breed Club secretaries had more people waiting or wanting pups than were available . You could get on a list for a Basenji next winter but I very much doubt you will find one still unsold. Go to the website of the BCGB, or the Northern Basenji Society as you are in the North and you will find email addresses of the secretaries. They will put you in touch with breeders who may be planning a litter for puppies to become ready to leave the nest in about a year's time. Its a long wait I know, but you have most probably missed the boat for now. You are welcome to post me privately. Good luck!

    These dogs will get your attention when they want it NO MATTER WHAT!!!! My B, Sahara will get up on my shoulders when I am on the computer, sitting in the recliner and anywhere else she wants to be. The first 2 wks. I had her home she slept on my shoulder all nestled into my neck, I couldn't make her get down, she was so little and sweet. Check out my B's pics on the Show Off Your Dog post unter Senji Fashion, Basenji Boy posted them for me, I was having trouble getting them to upload. Sahara is so proud of her butt, take a look, funny!!!!!

    OMG, TRUST me…its not only ur baby, Jack has some seporation anxiety, i mean, we rescued him so that may be why, but i Always feel so sad when we leave him, he runs to the window and crys when we leave, but i KNOW it wonly lasts until he cant see us anymore (driving away) my neighbor watched for me. but SOMETIMES he does get into things when we leave for too long. like the other day, when he ate my betta fish food...grr...
