Nex & Frecks

Show Off Your Dog
  • Hello World.
    Here are a couple of pictures of Nex ( 6 year old Auz / Shepherd mix ) and his new companion Freckles ( 5 month old Basenji / mix ). I adopted Nex when he was about Frecks' age. They have been together for 10 playful days. Both came from different local " Rescue Organizations" in the Northwest coastal area of Washington State.

  • Very handsome couple!! Love Freckles head!

    And: Welcome!

  • beautiful mixes! I have a B-mix too. (a "boxenji", lol)

  • Hi,

    The folks at the "rescue" have no history on Freckles, so I guess I can use my imagination. Nex's background is also a mystery. Most guess was Auz cattle dog & German shepherd, but based on his vocalizations I think he may be part Basenji.

    I grew-up in Mattapan, attended Boston Technical High (class of 1963) and BU. ;)

  • Welcome.
    You have good looking dogs.
    I live in the PNW, am often up in Bellingham to visit my family.
    Glad you found the forum.

  • Awww, Freckles looks very Basenji-ish. What a face. I would've had to rescue that guy. Except for my most recent rescue having 67% approval ratings today, that is.:rolleyes:

    Thanks Sharon. ;)
    I think they are very special.
    Nex came from Whatcom Humane in Bellingham.
    Frecks from WA Shepherd Rescue, Everett/Arlington.

    I've just "discovered" the breed.

  • Well, bless your heart for taking 2 rescue dogs in.
    They are very lucky to have you.

  • Welcome to the pack! Freckles looks like Nex just punched him in the eyes :) I love his markings. Both are cute looking dogs.

  • "it looks like Nex just hit Frecs in the eye"

    Good diagnosis Whiz :o

    In the photo Frecs did have a slightly inflamed right eye. My vet prescribed sulphur based, antibiotic eye drops. It worked, but now Nex (his mature companion) is showing similar intermittent eye redness and pale yellow discharge. :(

    At first I thought it was some irritant in my environment that Frec's was reacting to. But he's now over "it" and Nex is showing symptoms. So I have no clue.

    Can Forum contributors offer insights / advice ? :confused:

  • Too funny! I have an Austrailian Shepard mix named Freckles! She plays with my basenji Dallas :)

    Your boys make quite a pair!

    I was actually so impress with them when we brought them home. It was so easy they slept the whole way home. It was awesome!

    Our first Basenji, Seymour, yodeled a lot…sounded like a rooster crowing. Maxx rarely yodeled, but when he did, he sounded like Tim "The Toolman" Taylor from Home Improvements..."r-r-r-r."
