Silly Picky Basenji!!

Show Off Your Dog
  • So we had a BBQ the other night and while everyone went inside to get plates Jack snuck out of his dog house and ever so slowly (so not to be caught) climbed into the camping chair to sleep!! I guess that 55$ bed I brought outside for him to lay on that day wasnt as good as the folding chair?? LOL…He is SO random!!! Then when we went back outside I went to sit back in my chair and Jack looked at me, yawned, and layed his head back down like..."um, yawn, get your own chair" HAHAA:eek:

  • Yea, Sahara likes to take over my recliner at times, yesterday I found her in my chair with her head on the neck pillow. She looked ever so comfortable so I let my sleeping dog lay. haha!!! So Jack is outside these days, I thought he lived inside with the family.

  • No he lives inside, but we had a bunch of company and it was a nice day so we brought him outside with us…no way would he lut us be out and not him, LOL...Its funny that you mention that though because I was wondering if any other B's do what Jack does...He likes being inside but after a couple hours he sits in frount of the back door and paws and whines, when we let him out he runs and plays and after a half hour or so we let him back in and he sits and whines in frount of the door again...somtimes for LONG periods of time...I think because his last owner left him out, he prefers to be out (in nice weather...hahaa, when it rains he doesnt "want his pretty coat to get sprinkled on" even to go potty real fast) IDK...anyway...

  • Since we have the doggie door now we have placed a lawn chair in the yard-in the sun of course, so dash can sun himself comfortably. Spoiled dog.;)

  • Every b should be spoiled..your doing a good job!

  • Sounds like Jack is a typical B, wants outside but comes back and forth to check on you and the baby. He just wants to make sure you are still around and not scooted out. My B is so spoiled, my hubby bought some covering for our top back yard step so when Sahara lays on it she will not have marks, red spots from laying on the hot bricks. He loves my B, me too, and she is so rotten I am surprised you can't smell her where you are. haha!!!!:D :D :D

    I am pretty sure you can't just look at a mix and declare what it is. Scientific studies have debunked that over and over. Best to do a DNA test, in my opinion. I have a mix who was advertised as a Basenji Mix, and her DNA results confirmed it. If you just looked at her and made a judgement, it would be mixed: her color was all askew, her tail was half-curled, she was smaller and featured more slender face and feet than a pure-bred B. But, apparently, the 1/4 Min Pin (the ONLY other DNA in her sample) contributed some significant traits. Behavior and personality wise, Basenji rules the day. Again, I recommend a DNA test, and they improve by the day. What is this other B identity thing that is mentioned in this thread? Is it also a DNA test, or something else? Oh, and hey, your baby is way cute!

    OMG soooo cute. Her colouring and face don't look like a basenji, but maybe she's mixed with something with stronger genes. Do a DNA test. That would be fun!
  • Is she Basenji?

    You had me confused and then I realized you meant the write up on the other rescue (Okapi)… I like less white also. So I had to go look... wow, coloring reminds me of minpins. :) Cute dog though.
  • Not a basenji, but…

    After striking out with my first 2 B's I figured I'd give my other love a try! She is wonderful so far, potty training is kicking our butt..as with any puppy. We have only had her a week yesterday so I'm sure this is gonna be fun! She is giving us (my gf and I, our 3 cats and Sid) a run for our money! Sid is very jealous though, which is what we wanted. We need him to desire attention instead of just laying around all day long. Wish us luckkkk with the ol' man.

    We got Killian from a breeder in Ohio–-Jim Edgerton. That's where he had gotten our previous male basenji. We took Logan and Jasmine to his place and looked at several 1 year olds and a puppies and Jasmine eliminated the others and we agreed with her pick.
  • Basenji or not??

    Thank you very much for the info. I will have to try the time out. He was crate trained as far as being house broken, but now when I put brownie in the crate all he does is whine.. I do have 2 older dogs. one that plays with him and the other, well he just growls at brownie. The mother that was there when I got Brownie was a white shepard, maybe that is where the broad nose comes in.
