Frustration: Basenji lovers must read

Basenji Talk
  • You should have sent Shango home with her. Her opinion would have changed after her sofa was masticated, clothes eaten and the contents of her refrigerator were strewn about her house in a reckless and half eaten manner.

  • Basenjis aren't pretentious; they simply don't associate with beings who are their mental inferiors.

  • Just let it roll off your back. She apparently didn't know about the breed - nor was she very tactful or polite. Ya can't 'love' some people but …

    Ya can always love the Basenji! [smiling]

  • This reminds me of the day I was out on a hike with my B in a historical park. While I was reading a sign, Colbey decided to lay down. A lady coming down the path who had 3 rat looking dogs calls out in a really snotty tone "Why is he laying down?" I look over at her and simply say "Because he feels like it" and shrug. Ugh… people who have dogs that know nothing about dogs and pretend to really do get on my nerves.

    Why wouldn't he be laying down? He's a Basenji. They do what makes them feel best. Regardless, what's wrong with a dog laying down? :D

    My thoughts exactly….

  • Shango sounds like a lovely dog, I don't suppose his opinion of the daughter was very high, I wouldn't worry about her appalling manners.

    Looks can be so deceiving- here is an article of a woman who adopted a rescue dog in N.J. Dog looks like a basenji - even her vet thought it might be basenji. She did an Embark DNA test - no basenji. Turned out the dog was a mixture of Mountain Cur, Rat Terrier, Beagle, and Boston Terrier. link text

    @weedtrek Possibly Basenji mix, nose looks a bit wider and the eyes are less oval. Could well be a Basenji mix though.

    Oh Barklessdog, you are a brave person. I must now stand with you in insane-solidarity and admit I bought it too. It is awful but when you get the line "we couldn't say goodbye so we took him home" part, you know you got to help support the woman. lol

    @Capt_Jack_our_Basenji: Thanks and CONGRATS to you too, EVERYONE here is pregnant, all my friends (all from my husbands submarine) LOL. I guess its something on the boat, lol. Thanks! That is so funny because in the building I work in there will be 9 babies born this year (between the mothers and the fathers) and there are only about 50 people. That's pretty darn close to 20% of the population here. We think it's the water. ;)
