Hello from Poland

Member Introductions
  • My name is Anna. I live in Poland and I've had a dog that I'm pretty sure is a Basenji and I would like to share my story.
    I stayed in Egypt for sometime and while I was there I recieved a 2-week old puppy from a friend, who had found two in a dumpster. I've never had a dog before so, needless to say, I was overwhelemed with the constant care the dog required. I named him Rocky and in the first 2 weeks I was a frequent visitor at the local vet's office. He was really helpful (he was a very kind man and I was lucky, because his English was very good too).
    When I was ready to return home I bought two plane tickets and now have Rocky here, in Poland.
    I did a lot of research to find out what breed he was and, since he was found, I have no papers that would confirm it, but I think it is a Basenji, not only because of the way he looks but also because of the characteristic behaviour: the constant grooming like a cat, the fact that hes has completely no odour and, finally, the vivacious personality, not to say dominating. He is adorable in many ways and I am fortunate to have him as my companion.

  • Very cute and welcome to the boards. Might be B mix….. there are many what at called village dogs that are a combo of many different breeds... and I would think that is what you have.... but you are still most welcome to the forum... and sharing stories about your boy

  • He certainly looks like he could be a basenji-mix, he is very cute! Welcome to the Forum! We have several basenji-mixes in our local dog park group, they are so funny, they all act purely basenji.

    Aggression is an all encompassing term. As pointed out above, there is quite a range! It is not unusual for Basenjis to be dog aggressive. Mine is, and I just avoid other dogs because I know his intentions are not good. Some are same sex aggressive and fine with members of the opposite sex, and some may just be making a statement when they are leashed. If you describe what you are seeing more specifically I am sure lots of people will have common experiences and possible training fixes to share. I would love to see some pictures of Tucker, and welcome to the forum!

    Welcome and kudos to you for helping with rescues! It sounds like Kowboy was a great introuction to the breed. I'm sorry for your loss of him and Indy. this is a great place to share and keep memories alive. I'll keep my fingers crossed for a speedy relocation back to your family in CA!

    I live near the mountains in Colorado. There are some great trails with open space all around to let thme run around. Gosh I'm so jealous!! We don't have any plasce we could let our pooches loose. I would love a big open space sans any basenji prey :) that way they'll come back
