  • Okay, I'm trying to get used to this! I think I sent the photos to the wrong place, so I'll try again. Sorry :)

    Here's jack, my Basenji-mix boy…

    Cheers,

  • Very cute, looks more like a Shepard mix then Basenji to me…

  • Got these photos just fine.
    Cute mix you have.
    Any idea of the parents?

  • He also looks very Kelpie-ish

  • Mom was a pure bred Basenji - and dad was a neighborhood Romeo of unknown origin. He's a little larger than a Basenji, but has the overall shape of one - including the Cinnabon tail. He also cleans himself, stares out the window for hours (perched on the back of a chair, of course) and doesn't bark.
    He's incredibly independent - that took some getting used to after having had a biddable Golden retriever, but we've done lots of training and, if he wants to, he'll listen! We're his third guardians - the previous two couldn't handle his penchant for escape, and although the first month I thought we had made a grave mistake, I am now totally smitten! I know he's not like the other Basenjis here, but I have fallen in love with the breed and would love to be part of the group.
    Cheers,

    I understand, Ha ha, there are times after four years with Jazz and almost two with Keoki, we wonder if we've made a grave mistake :D

    I wouldn't give these two up for the world: TOTALLY SMITTEN.

    Of course, it helps a lot that I have Jazz – the MOST BEAUTIFUL Basenji ever born, and Keoki -- the CUTEST Basenji ever born. {never mind what the other people here may tell you. ;) }

  • Cute, he is definitely doing the "basenji lean" on the couch.

  • He's very pretty. It's hard to tell exactly what color he is in the pics - is he black or a really dark brown?

  • Very cute pooch. :)

  • Cute basenji mix you have there!!!:D Thanks for sharing the pics!

  • Wonderful dog!:D

    @Motala - That is good that you talked to Jan and glad to hear that she had not been spayed. I still think that your Vet and you should connect with Dr. Gonto about your girl's blood work and blood gas results and if he has any thoughts about it.

    Welcome aboard, but do share his registered name ? Who are Dad and Mom and what was his date of birth so we can be sure to add him to the Basenji pedigree on-line database (with a photo ???) for the world to share him. http://www.pedigrees.zandebasenjis.com/

    @basenjilovers - She is very cute, please make sure that DNA testing was done for Fanconi and PRA. And if not or you are not sure, you can get the test kits at www.ofa.org. You do the test as it is a cheek swab.
