    Hi, I'm really considering getting a Basenji and thought coming here would be a better was of understanding what these dog are all about. Reading info on the internet is definitely different than hearing experiances with all of you.

    I'm Rocco. I'm a rescue and I'm working on my biting problem in North Carolina.

    When they are with their littermates and any adults, during play when they bite to hard, the one getting bite will scream at the biter… and adults will strongly correct... this is when they learn "soft" bite... so sounds like your Rocco did not get this... This happens if removed from the adults and/or other littermates too early... So as stated, all play stops... also, I suggest that if the bite is too hard, scream/yell very loud and then stop all play

    I think he is a basenji dachshund mix. What do you all think?

    Just wondering if he barks or does he make basenji noises? I have to agree he looks more terrier than basenji though.

    Thanks for your warm welcome! I'll ask my daughter to take some digital pics of our Sheba to post! We'll try to get some good forehead wrinkles – when she's got those terrific ears up and forward! Her tail's straight and droopy, though -- that's where the "mix" really shows! So far -- she sometimes reminds me very much of a cat (I know far more about kitties than basenjis.) Even the way she bats a tennis ball about -- "soccer-style" -- is quite feline. But she is NOT aloof. She's definitely a people pooch! A snuggler. I am delighted she's joined the family. Will post pics soon, I hope -- Thanks -- Sheba's Mom

    I'm not the only Basenji owner?
