@zande I know that I’m lucky to have found him! I hope he feels that he lucked out, too. Actually, I don’t care very much what “mix” he is. I had just never heard of basenjis before my Vet mentioned it. He doesn’t have a long tail - it seems to have been clipped. The barking is only when he hears someone approach my apartment door or if someone comes in that he doesn’t know. I’m working on desensitizing him to the latter. He DOES make noises like the dog in the videos below make & he grooms himself quite a bit. He DOES NOT play with toys. Don’t know if that’s breed specific or just Jack! He also isn’t too active; he’d be happy to sit on my lap or with his face in my arm pit all day!
My Basenji is One Rude Kitty Cat!

Ok…this was my stupid husband....he is basically a big kid and thinks its fun to make what he thinks are funny posts...he does the same thing to my friends on AIM (has made for some interesting conversation!)..sorry about this one, I tried deleting the post, but couldn't figure out how...lol! I guess thats what I get for not minimizing the screen before giving him the computer!

LOL…I just thought you had forgotten to post a picture to go with the caption. It never gets any easier trying to understand male humor. You just need to post a disclaimer that any wierd messages have probably been posted by your dh or the dog.

It is kind of funny though. Alot of people have compared Indi to a cross between a Kitty and a Human which I think is kind of accurate. What do you all think?

Jack is TOTALLY more cat than dog….yesterday he was "stalking" a squirrel in the yard, and he definitely looked like a cat.
Plus, I was telling my DH and a friend that people on here had posted pictures on here of their bs climbing trees, to which the friend responded, "What is he, some kind of mutant cat?"

After watching a show on cheetahs, I think that Basenjis are more like them than dogs, or wolves. They look to have the same light framed body structure, and like to stalk, and paw at things. Medjai also waits and tries to beat other dogs in a race at the dog park.
