good try but not a basenji
Cute B-mixes?
-
Its a shame that there as so many basenji mixes showing up.
We have PB b's that are looking for home, and I know breeders have some puppies, or adult dogs to place.
The mixes are often lovely dogs…
I just wonder why someone would do this mixing... -
Many of them are probably on accident, unfortunately. Sometimes, some beautiful dogs are the result.
-
Yes, but then you have the designer breeds ie, dogs with good PR and it just adds to the excess animal population.
Don't get me wrong, I love quality basenji breeders who work to improve the breed we love.
But these oops dogs, well, they are just more dogs that need homes.
Sigh. -
I completely agree with you. I'm not saying people should breed anything with anything. I just thought I'd share a pic of that particular mix. It was cute. Lighten up! Nobody is disagreeing with you!

Sorry if I seem to be a bit grim on this…I do basenji rescue.
That is all I do.
I have post every day about some sweet looking dog who is a basenji mix.
Can I find a home for this dog???
I am working to save the PB and it breaks my heart I can't save the mixes as well.
I want all b's and b mixes to have a forever home.
Sorry again if this is negative.
Just telling you how it goes in my world. -
Judging from your signature line, I kinda figured. I can tell that you are very passionate about the breed. That's good. I know how hard it must be to see all the animals who don't find good homes, Basenji or not. I would love to volunteer in an animal shelter someday when all of my children are in school during the day, but I would hate to see any of them have to be euthanized, pure bred or mutt.

Hollie is a Basenji/Whippet mix. I got her at a local animal shelter. Don't know if the mix was on purpose or accident and don't care…. Personally I prefer the mixes!!

I saw on dogster the picture for Hollie with the 2008 Ugliest Dog Contest. I hope she didn't win because she is adorable…with her sweet smile...who could say she is ugly?

Basenji x Podenco…
i once saw such a mix and i loved it...

my own dog is a B mix. We call him a "boxenji"… boxer + basenji. We adopted our dog from a shelter, so it certainly wasn't a "planned" mixing. I do think it's a great mix though (as an "oops", I'd never advocate "designer" mixed breeds). He has the personality of a B, but the strength of a boxer.
